Microsporidial stromal keratitis: treatment outcomes, clinical manifestations, confocal microscopy and histopathology findings: a retrospective observational study
MSK can be easily underdiagnosed. Clues to diagnosis included a history of chronic refractory stromal infiltration and typical corneal findings of deep stromal infiltration, without epithelial defects. TPK is the preferred treatment for MSK.
