Exophiala phaeomuriformis keratitis in a subarctic climate region: a case report.

This is the first described case of keratitis caused by E. phaeomuriformis in a subarctic region, the first in Europe and, to our knowledge, the second reported case in the literature. It is important to remember that superficial corneal brown-pigmented infiltrates should raise the suspicion of an unusual fungal infection even in this climate. This is particularly important in patients with ocular surface disease treated with steroids and antibiotics for a long time.
