Acanthamoeba Keratitis in Non–ContactLens Wearers in India

1 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To establish that the protozoan Acanthamoeba is one of the causative organisms associated with non-contact lens-related keratitis in the Indian population and to develop a simple and sensitive diagnostic assay for clinical testing. DESIGN: DNA sequencing of nuclear 18S and 26S ribosomal DNA motifs was performed and compared with the reference Acanthamoeba strains, to establish the genetic identity of...
