Abstract

EDITOR,—Pythium insidiosum is an unusual but serious ocular pathogen. Although the organism grows as a mycelium in tissue, it is not a member of the fungal kingdom and its identification can be a challenge for a routine laboratory. We report a case of Pythium keratitis in which the organism was confirmed by nucleic acid sequencing...
