First report of an Acanthamoeba genotype T13 isolate as etiological agent of a keratitis in humans.

Parasitology research - 1 Jun 2014

Grün Anna-Lena, Stemplewitz Birthe, Scheid Patrick

Abstract excerpt

Several strains of free-living amoebae (FLA) belonging to the genus Acanthamoeba are able to cause a painful sight-threatening disease of the cornea designated as Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). In this case report, a 22-year-old woman, wearer of soft contact lenses, was treated after the initial examination, and follow-up laboratory results led to the diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis. The patient recovered under...
