Acanthamoeba keratitis update-incidence, molecular epidemiology and new drugs for treatment.

Eye (London, England) - 1 Nov 2003

Seal D V

Abstract excerpt

A reliable figure for the expected incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis of one per 30000 contact lens wearers per year has now been obtained from a combination of three cohort and three Questionnaire Reporting Surveys; 88% of cases wore hydrogel lenses and 12% wore rigid lenses. This figure now provides a basis for the expected number of cases against which to judge either epidemic outbreaks or effects of...
