Survey of Ophthalmology, 1998
Acanthamoeba species are an important cause of microbial keratitis that may cause severe ocular inflammation and visual loss. The first cases were recognized in 1973, but the disease remained very rare until the 1980s, when an increase in incidence mainly associated with contact lens wear was reported.

Der Ophthalmologe, 2008
The case of a previously healthy 48-year-old patient (not a contact lens wearer) with a Fusarium keratitis is reported. He had developed a deep corneal ulcer with total stromal infiltration (Fusarium ssp.). An intensive topical and systemic antiinfectious medication was initiated, along with some procedures (keratoplasty, rinsing of the anterior ...

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1992
As Jones has emphasized, the successful management of microbial keratitis, fungal or otherwise, necessitates five steps: (1) clinical suspicion and clinical diagnosis; (2) performing the proper laboratory procedures; (3) initiating antimicrobial therapy based on the results of laboratory studies; (4) modifying the initial therapy based on the clinical ...

The incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis has decreased significantly, and it is no longer a reportable condition in the United States. Corneal abrasion and contact lenses play an important role in the development of Acanthamoeba keratitis. One of the most important features of the disease is severe pain, which is atypical for herpes simplex.

Cornea, 1991
Moraxella corneal ulcers are uncommon but may be complicated by marked inflammation and corneal perforation. In a series of eight cases treated over a period of 6 years, despite appropriate antibiotic therapy, descemetoceles and/or perforations developed in four cases, resulting in loss of the eye in two cases.

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2007
Infectious keratitis is a medical emergency. Improper management can lead to marked loss of vision. This review identifies recent trends in the study of infectious keratitis.A multicountry outbreak of Fusarium keratitis emphasizes that contact lens wear is a major risk factor for infectious keratitis.

Ophthalmologica, 1980
A 67-year-old man with chronic keratitis was treated with a multitude of antibiotics, corticosteroids and other medicines. Despite temporary relief, perforation with iris prolapse occurred about 4 months after the initial symptoms, and the eye had to be removed.

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1987
Presumed accidental corneal exposure to Hibiclens (chlorhexidine 4% and detergent) in two patients resulted in severe and permanent corneal opacification. We investigated the corneal toxicity of Hibiclens by gross, biomicroscopic, and histopathologic studies of rabbit eyes exposed to Hibiclens for varying time intervals ranging from five to 15 minutes.

A distinctive keratitis occurs commonly in Reiter's syndrome. In three patients with Reiter's keratitis, two demonstrated the typical features of prodromal conjunctivitis, subepithelial and anterior stromal infiltrates, ragged epithelial erosions, and spontaneous resolution.
