Exserohilum keratitis: Clinical profile of nine patients and comparison of morphology versus ITS-Based DNA sequencing for species identification of the fungal isolates

Conclusions: Diagnosis and clinical features of Exserohilum keratitis are akin to other dematiaceous keratitis. The two morphological species of E. mcginnisii and E. rostratum are indistinguishable from Setosphaeria rostratum at DNA sequence level, which justifies the retention of the latter nomenclature.
