- W4378349290 abstract "Purpose: To ascertain the frequency of coinfections in Acanthamoeba keratitis, the nature of copathogens involved, and to analyze the implications in the context of current research on amoebic interactions. Methods: A retrospective case review from a Tertiary Care Eye Hospital in South India. Smear and culture data for coinfections in Acanthamoeba corneal ulcers were collected from records over a 5-year period. The significance and relevance of our findings in the light of current research on Acanthamoeba interactions were analyzed. Results: Eighty-five cases of culture-positive Acanthamoeba keratitis were identified over a 5-year period (43 of them being coinfections). Fusarium was most commonly identified species, followed by Aspergillus and the dematiaceous fungi. Pseudomonas spp was the commonest bacterial isolate. Conclusion: Coinfections with Acanthamoeba are common at our centre, and account for 50% of Acanthamoeba keratitis. The diverse nature of the organisms involved in coinfections suggest that such amoebic interactions with other organisms are probably more widespread than recognized. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documentation from a long-term study of pathogen diversity in Acanthamoeba coinfections. It is possible that Acanthamoeba itself may be virulence enhanced and secondary to the co-organism, breaching the ocular surface defenses in an already compromised cornea. However, observations from the existing literature on Acanthamoeba interactions with bacteria and certain fungi are based mainly on nonocular or nonclinical isolates. It would be illuminating if such studies are performed on Acanthamoeba and coinfectors from corneal ulcers—to ascertain whether interactions are endosymbiotic or virulence enhanced through amoebic passage." @default.
