Summary. A 40‐year‐old woman developed a corneal ulcer with hypopyon following a traumatic episode. In a KOH mount dematiaceous, septate, branched hyphae were demonstrated, and heavy growth of Exserohilum rostratum was obtained in culture. No bacterial pathogens were isolated. The patient was treated with natamycin and subsequently with ketoconazole. In spite of antimycotic therapy a descemetocele of the eye remained. This observation represents the first documented case of an Exserohilum infection in India. Zusammenfassung. Eine 40‐jährige Frau entwickelte nach Trauma ein Hornhautulkus mit Hypopyon. Die Untersuchung von Hornhautab‐schabsel ergab mikroskopisch im KOH‐Präparat das Vorhandensein von verzweigten, septierten, pigmentierten Hyphen; in Kultur konnte Exserohilum rostratum gezüchtet werden. Bakterielle Erreger waren nicht nachweisbar. Die Patientin wurde zunächst mit Natamycin, später mit Ketoconazol behandelt. Trotz dieser antimykotischen Therapie verblieb eine Descemetozele des Auges. Dies ist der erste dokumentierte Fall einer Exsero‐hilum‐Infektion in Indien.
