American Journal of Ophthalmology, 06/26/09
Tu EY et al. - In patients with AK, ICK can develop early and without either the use of corticosteroids or a preexisting epithelial defect, inconsistent with previously suggested mechanisms and major risk factors for secondary infection. Combined AK and ICK may exhibit increased pathogenicity with the onset of severe, often new, pain and acceleration of localized tissue loss and resultant scarring. Although early recognition and aggressive medical treatment were successful in resolving the combined infections in these cases, Acanthamoeba coinfection, and perhaps endosymbiosis, should be considered in the evaluation and clinical management of AK, especially in those cases progressing atypically.
