[Acanthamoeba keratitis].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 1996
Three patients, women aged 69, 25 and 30 years, with refractory keratitis were found to have a rare infection with Acanthamoeba. All wore soft contact lenses. The frequency of Acanthamoeba keratitis increased in recent years. At present, an efficacious antiprotozoal therapy is available, for instance in the form of polyhexamethylene biguanide and ...

Isolation of Acanthamoeba Species and Bacterial Symbiont Variability in Puna Salt Plains, Argentina

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2025.
Acanthamoeba isolated from the extreme environments of the Puna salt plains in Argentina contain unique intracellular microbial communities that are distinct from those found in the surrounding environments. The number of shared taxa amongst intracellular amoebae across all sites was greater than the number of shared taxa between the amoebae and their ...

Acanthamoeba keratitis.

Journal of postgraduate medicine, 2000
Acanthamoeba keratitis, common in soft lens wearers, is not commonly isolated. The reports of Acanthamoeba keratitis in Indian literature are few. We report here a case of Acanthamoeba Keratitis in a medical student using soft contact lenses, initially diagnosed and treated as a bacterial and later as a viral corneal ulcer, who responded extremely well
