Abstract:
A case of acanthamoebic keratitis was identified from a corneal scraping stained with a modified Papanicolaou stain. The characteristic double-walled cyst forms were easily identified. Corneal scraping cytology provides a rapid, noninvasive means of diagnosis and follow-up for this serious disease.
