Microscopy of corneal ulcer showed branching septate hyphae. The probable diagnosis –: (A) Candida, (B) Mucor mycosis, (C) Aspergillus, (D) Histoplasma
Answer is C. Amongst the given options candida and aspergillus cause a corneal ulcer.
Branched septate hyphae and involvement of cornea favour the diagnosis of aspergillus.
Candia will show yeast-like form and psedomycelia (not branched septate hyphae).
