Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of severe and drug-resistant Acanthamoeba keratitis in a contact lens wearer caused by atypical T5 Acanthamoeba genotype (Acanthamoeba lenticulata). METHODS: Report of a case, Acanthamoeba DNA amplification and sequencing. RESULTS: A 61-year-old patient was referred to our clinic with a 2-week history of keratitis. Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) was diagnosed using confocal microscopy...
