  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 24-year-old female sought medical advice for epiphora, hyperemia and foreign body sensationin the left eye of five days' duration. She had been using soft contact lens for five years. Initially, dendriticerosion was present in the affected cornea. Topical antibiotics proved futile and the lesion progressed tocorneal ulcer with infiltrations. The visual acuity was now 0.04. Acanthamoeba was found in scrapings fromthe cornea and in the preservative solution of contact lens. Topical and systemic fluconazole induced rapidresolution of the corneal lesion. The visual acuity recovered to 0.5 in three weeks. This case illustrates theneed to promptly recognize the distinctive clinical characteristics of Acanthamoeba keratitis.
