      abstract = {This book provides the concise descriptions of the basic  and clinical knowledge about Acanthamoba keratitis,  including characteristics of pathogen, risk factors,  clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment with  abundant figure illustrations and typical cases to  ophthalmological practitioners and researchers.  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.
