PROMISING METHODS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ACANTHAMOEBA KERATITIS
Abstract
Modern scientific Russian and foreign publications on problems of diagnosis and treatment of the acanthamoeba keratitis are provided in this paper. New promising methods of diagnosis and treatment of acanthamoeba keratitis, which can be introduced into clinical practice in the shortest possible time, have been identified. Introduction of new methods of the acanthamoeba keratitis diagnosis and treatment will expand the possibilities of its early diagnosis and increase the effectiveness of the conducted treatment.
