摘要
We report a case of keratitis due to Rhodotorula species in an agricultural worker following trauma with sugarcane leaf. There are very few cases of Rhodotorula infection in corneal grafts following lamellar keratoplasty. This is a unique case reporting Rhodotorula infection after traumatic corneal ulcer.
