Microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in AIDS
Abstract
Microsporidia are rare human opportunistic pathogens that are now increasingly recognised in patients with AIDS, most commonly as an ocular or enteric pathogen. This paper reports a case of microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in a patient with AIDS which responded to treatment with dibromopropamidine isethionate ointment. The clinical and laboratory features of microsporidial ocular infection are reviewed.
