pubmed:abstractText |
Acanthamoeba keratitis is difficult to treat and requires prolonged therapy despite the well-documented in vitro effectiveness of a variety of drugs. The authors propose that this may be due to the cysts formed by the organism in response to hostile conditions. Consequently, the study concentrates on increasing penetration of drugs effective against the parasite into the cysts using dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).
