Abstract

Abstract : Candida dubliniensis is an uncommon source of ocular infections and has only been reported in a single previous case of keratitis. This report documents the course of a combined Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans keratitis following a chemical injury. Antifungal sensitivities of the two different Candida species are also demonstrated.
