acanthamoeba infection

Infection, with various species of the genus Acanthamoeba . Acanthamoeba culbertsoni is a ubiquitous soil AMOEBA that may cause infection in people who have suffered facial injuries or who have DIABETES or LYMPHOMAS. Abscess-like masses occur in the skin, lungs, middle ear and even the brain. Infection of the CORNEA can also occur in contact lens wearers, usually from Acanthamoeba polyphaga . Acanthamoeba cysts are impervious to chlorine in concentrations up to 50 parts per million. They may therefore survive in domestic water supplies. Treatment is with AMPHOTERICIN-B.
