摘要：

Scedosporium prolificans is a soil saprophyte that is associated with a large variety of infectious processes and with respiratory colonization in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. We report the first described case of S. prolificans keratouveitis associated with the intraocular long-term retention of a contact lens in a 76-year-old female patient.
