ResumoWe report the first French case of an intraocular infection due to Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis. Two months after a second corneal transplant for congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, the patient presented with ocular pain and corneal infiltrates leading to the graft rejection. Diagnosis was established by positive direct examination and cultures of the same fungus from corneal buttons, iris biopsies and ablated sutures.
