Acanthamoeba keratitis: Experience from a tertiary eye care center in North India.
The free-living amebae of genus Acanthamoeba are an important cause of microbial keratitis. The clinical appearance of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) usually mimics viral or fungal keratitis. Thus, microbiological workup plays a significant role in the diagnosis and timely treatment of such cases. We report a retrospective case series of seven culture-confirmed AK cases from a tertiary eye care center in North India. Various risk factors and triggers of infection, clinical presentations, microbiological findings, and management of AK are elucidated.
