To report a rare case of fungal keratitis and endophthalmitis due to  Coniochaeta hoffmannii . Case report. A 71-year-old immunocompetent male sustained a corneal laceration, traumatic cataract, and retinal detachment due to penetrating injury from a nail pulled from a wooden deck. The patient’s postoperative course was complicated by infectious keratitis. Fungal cultures, DNA sequencing and analysis of the internal transcribed spacer sequence confirmed  Coniochaeta hoffmannii . Topical and oral voriconazole treatments were initiated; however, due to impending perforation, a therapeutic corneal transplant was required. One year later, the patient developed a new corneal infiltrate at the graft-host junction: Corneal scrapings were culture positive for  Coniochaeta hoffmannii . This was treated with topical and intrastromal voriconazole along with oral itraconazole 200 mg once daily for 8 months. Coniochaeta hoffmannii  may cause recalcitrant keratitis and endophthalmitis, which required longstanding antifungal treatment.
