Cytomegalovirus Corneal Endotheliitis After Acanthamoeba Keratitis: A Case Report*
CMVCE subsequent to AK represents a severe form of infectious corneal keratopathy. In AK patients experiencing unexplained corneal endothelial decompensation, mydriasis, iris atrophy, concurrent cataract, and secondary glaucoma post-keratoplasty, a reoccurrence of AK should not be considered in isolation. CMV infection should also be suspected, and an aqueous humor test should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
