Abstract
Ten chicks with eye lesions caused by Aspergillus fumigatus were studied pathologi-cally. All of them had unilateral eye infection. The histological Jesions were confinedto the anterior part of the eye, and consisted of exudative inflammation with hyphaeand reactive proliferation of granulation tissue. They had no connection with those inother organs. Direct invasion of an etiological agent from the exterior was suspected tobe the mode of infection of th.is eye disorder.
