Decoding the rare diagnostic enigma of pythium insidiosum keratitis – A narrative review

Pythium insidiosum, an oomycete, is frequently referred to as a “parafungus” due to its striking similarity to fungal keratitis. Over the past 10 years, there has been a significant rise in Pythium insidiosum keratitis (PIK) cases, notably in Asia and India. This trend is potentially attributable to...
