Pythium Insidiosum Keratitis: Histopathology and Rapid Novel Diagnostic Staining Technique

Conclusions: Pythium insidiosum keratitis is perhaps not more devastating than fungal keratitis but late diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and treatment as fungal infection are major heralds. Early diagnosis may markedly improve the patient outcome. IKI-H2SO4 is a cost-effective, simple, sensitive, and specific stain for the diagnosis of oomycete Pythium.
