| These
lesions have a more insidious onset, seen at 8-15 days after trauma
usually involving vegetative material.
Agents include Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, and Fusarium.
Clincally, the lesion is usually associated with a hypopyon, has
satellite lesions around the ulcer, and has an immune ring of Wessely (PMNs
and plasma cells surrounding the central lesion with an intervening area
of uninvolved tissue) (#21940). Histologically, its appearance is similar to bacterial ulcer
except one often sees eosinophils and may see a granulomatous response.
Special stains are required to see the fungal elements
(#21942).
