الملخص
In Bertha locality, free living amoebae (FM) were isolated from
60% of 100 soft daily wear contact lenses, obtained from 50 contact
lens wearers showing an improper lens care system and having proplerns
with their lenses. Acanthamoeba and Naegieria species represented
63.3% and 36.7% of the isolated FM strains; respectively. The isolated
FM in the present study were non pathogenic as proven by
concanavalin A-induced agglutination test and experimental animal pathogenicity
test. Proper lens care system is essential in patients using
contact lenses.
