Pitiose é uma infecção com risco de vida pelo oomiceto Pythium insidiosum. Embora a infecção em animais ocorra amplamente em todo o mundo, a pitiose humana está em sua maioria confinada à Tailândia e, com exceção da doença ocular, está intimamente associada a doença hematológica subjacente, especialmente talassemia. Há uma alta mortalidade em pacientes com doença disseminada ou vascular. Nesta última forma, a invasão da parede arterial resulta em oclusão vascular e uma necessidade frequente de amputação. Pacientes com pitiose ocular geralmente requerem enucleação. Uma pequena proporção das infecções está limitada a pele e tecidos subcutâneos. | |||
