Molecular identification of microsporidian species in patients with epithelial keratitis.

Conclusion. This study has reconfirmed that V. corneae causes epithelial keratitis in humans and that a newly detected Microsporidium species is also involved in microsporidial keratitis as one of the emerging pathogens in Thailand. Ophthalomologists should be aware of microsporidial keratitis in people from Thailand and those from neighbouring countries. PMID: 32011230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
