Acanthamoeba Keratitis: Perspectives for Patients.

Stefano Bonini et al.

Summary: This study aims to uncover the long-term prognosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis, with findings indicating that delayed diagnosis and disease severity significantly increase healing time and duration of treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce healing time, minimize the decrease in quality of life, and lower the need for surgery.

The biology of Acanthamoeba keratitis

Jerry Y. Niederkorn

Summary: Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare protozoal infection of the cornea, primarily linked to contact lens wear. Immune studies show that exposure to Acanthamoeba is common but the disease itself is rare. Animal studies have revealed various contributing factors to the pathogenesis of AK.

Challenges in Acanthamoeba Keratitis: A Review

Giuseppe Varacalli et al.

Summary: The diagnosis and management of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) pose challenges, with delayed treatment leading to poorer visual outcomes. Standardized antiamoebic therapies are crucial in improving visual outcomes, shortening treatment duration, and reducing the need for surgical intervention, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment in AK management.

Corneal Changes in Acanthamoeba Keratitis at Various Levels of Severity: An In Vivo Confocal Microscopic Study

Zhenyu Wei et al.

Summary: The study revealed a significant increase in cyst density and surrounding dendritic cell (DC) density and maturity in patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis, which correlated with the severity of the disease. Quantitative analysis of cyst density and DC maturity may serve as a new method for evaluating the severity of Acanthamoeba keratitis.
