We present the clinical case of a 13-year-old patient, with a history of frequently swimming in a river, initially treated as unsuccessful bacterial keratitis, was managed in our department as acanthamoeba keratitis and successfully resolved her condition under this treatment regimen. This agent has been identified in 85% of isolates in corneal biopsies in patients with soft or semi-soft contact lenses. This pathology is rare, difficult to diagnose and treat, and its estimated prevalence ranges from 1-9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Despite our advances in antimicrobial chemotherapy, we defy an incomplete understanding of its pathogenesis, delay in diagnosis, and timely therapeutic interventions.Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente ...
