Med Mycol Case Rep. 2013 Apr 12:2:91-4. doi: 10.1016/j.mmcr.2013.04.002.

Abstract

A male patient presented with complaints of redness, pain and defective vision in the left eye. The infiltrate healed completely after two weeks of topical natamycin administration. A polyphasic approach was used to identify the isolate as Aspergillus pseudotamarii, which produced aflatoxins in inducing medium.
