Identification and sensitivity of two rare fungal species isolated from two patients with Fusarium keratomycosis.

We report two cases of Fusarium keratomycosis in which molecular analysis was used to identify two rare causative Fusarium species. A 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with Fusarium keratomycosis caused by F. equiseti, confirmed by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and morphological characteristics.
