Acanthamoeba kerititis?
Pretty nasty if it gets in the brain...
I would go with Acanthamoeba. The treatment for this is quite arduous, as I remember. Eye drops q 4 hours for days, if not weeks.
Agree with Acanthamoeba. Nice double-walled cysts in tissue and culture and amoebas with acanthopodia in culture.
