Microsporidial stromal keratitis in a cat

A 12 year-old female spayed felid presented after a 35 day history of right eye pain. On examination, a sub-epithelial opacity was identified in the cornea. A lamellar keratectomy was performed and histopathological analysis revealed low numbers of 2x4um, Gram, Hamatoxylin-eosin and Gomori methanami...

description A 12 year-old female spayed felid presented after a 35 day history of right eye pain. On examination, a sub-epithelial opacity was identified in the cornea. A lamellar keratectomy was performed and histopathological analysis revealed low numbers of 2x4um, Gram, Hamatoxylin-eosin and Gomori methanamine-silver positive spores. Transmission electron microscopy found ultrastructural findings consistent with the phylum Microspora. To the author's knowledge, this is only the second case of microsporidial stromal keratitis reported in a felid.
