Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare but potentially blinding infectious disease It is caused by a free living amoeba, Acanthamoeba spp. This ubiquitous protozo an has the ability to take on acystic form which allows it to resist unfavourable environmental conditions as well as numerous molecules. There is no licensed anti amoebic ophthalmic formulation for this indication in France or in the world, which is why eye drops are generally prepared in hospital pharmacies. In view of the lack of clinical data and the risk of supply shortages for certain raw materials, we propose a synthesis of the various existing drug treatments, in relation to recent data from the scientific literature. Our work is also based on a meta analysis carried out by us c...
