Microsporidia Stromal Keratitis
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Image Library - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Microsporidia Stromal Keratitis presents more commonly in immune competent patients. Risk factors include contact lens wear, trauma or travel to Southeast Asian countries with exposure to contaminated water. Patients present unilateral progressive eye redness, vision loss and pain. This presentation is often misdiagnosed as herpes simplex virus, so a corneal scraping or biopsy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
