Acanthamoeba spp.
I agree, Acanthamoeba. These are the cysts. Dr. W
Acanthamoeba sp cysts
I see 2 cell walls and size is at the small end of range and some are wrinkled
Any patient outcome info?
Acanthamoeba sp
since its from the eye its caused by highly pathogenic free living amoebas and narrowing it down to acanthamoeba due to the double wall cysts.
