摘要：
This is a comprehensive review after a thorough literature search in PubMed-indexed journals, incorporating current information on the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, medical and surgical therapy, as well as outcomes of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). AK is a significant cause of ocular morbidity, and early diagnosis with timely institution of appropriate therapy is the key to obtaining good outcomes. The varied presentations result in frequent misdiagnosis, and co-infections can increase the morbidity of the disease. The first line of therapy continues to be biguanides and diamidines, with surgery as a last resort.
