Limbal Subconjunctival Abscess: A Rare Complication of Acanthamoeba Keratitis

Despite immune-mediated sclerokeratitis being a more common complication of AK, infectious scleritis can also occur. Correct identification of the cause of scleritis is required to prevent mistreatment of infectious scleritis with systemic immunosuppression. The abscess resolved with repeated drainage and the use of topical and systemic voriconazole.

Abstract

Despite immune-mediated sclerokeratitis being a more common complication of AK, infectious scleritis can also occur. Correct identification of the cause of scleritis is required to prevent mistreatment of infectious scleritis with systemic immunosuppression. The abscess resolved with repeated drainage and the use of topical and systemic voriconazole.
