Advancing diagnostics in Pythium insidiosum keratitis: the emerging role of point-of-care imaging and biosensor-based detection devices
The integration of imaging, molecular, and biosensor modalities marks a paradigm shift in PIK diagnostics. PortableAS-OCT, handheld IVCM, and rapid multiplex panels promise to reduce diagnostic delay, minimize unnecessary antifungal use, lower keratoplasty rates, and improve visual prognosis. Collaborative validation and affordable access remain essential for global impact.
