Summary The authors performed an experimental infection of the rabbit eye with Wangiella dermatitidis which had been isolated from the corneal ulcer of a patient. The fungus was inoculated into the front chamber and the vitreous body. The disease showed a trend to spontaneous recovery. The individual phases of the experimental infection were followed by histology and electronmicroscopy, both TEM and SEM. Different stages of development of the polymorphous fungus, as sclerotic bodies, mycelial filaments and yeast‐like cells, could be demonstrated.
