Acanthamoeba pathogen is widely distributed in the nature. However, Acanthamoeba keratitis is generally considered as a type of sight-threatening keratitis that is difficult to treat. At early stage Acanthamoeba keratitis usually shows atypical clinical manifestations, that are often misdiagnosed as viral or bacterial keratitis. Moreover, there are not approved topical anti-amoebicdrugs available up to now. We hope ophthalmological practitioners can obtain a comprehensive understanding of this infection through this book.   Xuguang Sun is a professor of Ophthalmology at Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. 606 $aOphthalmology 606 $aOphthalmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H44004 615 0$aOphthalmology. 615 14$aOphthalmology. 676 $a617.719 700 $aSun$b Xuguang$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0784046 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300304803321 996 $aAcanthamoeba Keratitis$91742340 997 $aUNINA
