case_images: (A) Obvious conjunctival congestion, with white opacity on the temporal side of the cornea and visible brown foreign body in his right eye; (B) Confocal microscopy revealed abundant hyphae structure at the lesion of the right cornea; (C) Calcofluor white staining of corneal scrapings showed abundant septate hyphae.

case_images: Obvious conjunctival congestion, with white opacity on the temporal side of the cornea and visible brown foreign body in his right eye (Figure 1A). Confocal microscopy revealed abundant hyphae structure at the lesion of the right cornea (Figure 1B). Calcofluor white staining of corneal scrapings showed abundant septate hyaline (Figure 1C).
case_images: (A) The colonies on PDA and SDA after 7 days incubated at 25 C and 35 C; (B and C) Micromorphology examination showed hyphae hyaline and chlamydospores. Chlamydospores produced laterally or intercalary on hyphae, chlamydospores produced laterally or intercalary on hyphae, single-cell, thick-walled, brown, globose to subglobose.

case_images: At 35 C incubated 7d, the colony on PDA was yellow-brown (obverse), and a dark black color (reverse); colony on SDA was grey (obverse), and a dark black color (reverse) (Figure 2A). Chlamydospores produced laterally or intercalary on hyphae, single-cell, thick-walled, brown, globose to subglobose (Figure 2B and C).
case_images: (A) The colonies on PDA and SDA after 14 days incubated at 25 C and 35 C. (B) Micromorphology examination showed two types of conidia: chlamydospores and acremonium-like conidiophores; (C) Acremonium-like conidiophores, which were small (2.5-3 microm x 1.2-1.8 microm), hyaline, aseptate, smooth, obovoid, with slightly truncate ends, arranged in long divergent chains on the apex of the flask shaped conidiogenous cells (phialides).

case_images: It progressively became darken after 14 days and aerial hyphae gradually enrich (Figure 3A). Micromorphology examination showed two types of conidia: chlamydospores and acremonium-like conidiophores (Figure 3B). Acremonium-like conidiophores, which were small (2.5-3 microm x 1.2-1.8 microm), hyaline, aseptate, smooth, obovoid, with slightly truncate ends, arranged in long divergent chains on the apex of the flask shaped conidiogenous cells (phialides) (Figure 3C).
