背景棘阿米巴角膜炎的致盲率极高,发病初期易误诊为真菌性角膜炎或病毒性角膜炎,常规的临床诊断方法费时较长,特异性差,极易错过治疗的“时间窗”。常规PCR法检测简单、特异、有效,但由于病变标本取材量少,不易提取组织DNA,限制了其临床应用。目的探讨非提取组织DNA的直接PCR法扩增棘阿米巴虫株18SrRNA保守序列在棘阿米巴角膜炎快速诊断中的可行性。方法从山东省眼科研究所暨青岛眼科医院诊治的10例棘阿米巴角膜炎患者的病变角膜中分离10株棘阿米巴虫株,经鉴定均为T4基因型虫株。用直接PCR法分别扩增棘阿米巴原虫、白念珠菌、绿脓杆菌、I型单纯疱疹病毒以及正常人角膜上皮细胞以确定该方法的特异性。将棘阿米巴原虫稀释至不同的浓度以确定直接PCR法的敏感性。采用SPF级6周龄健康雌性BALB/c小鼠构建棘阿米巴角膜炎动物模型,于感染后第1、3、5、7、10、15天获取角膜组织,分别进行直接PCR、实时定量PCR(real—timePCR)、K0H封片镜检和原虫培养鉴定,比较各种方法的有效性和可行性。结果直接PCR法仅能扩增棘阿米巴DNA,其他病原体DNA均未扩增出;在每个获取的棘阿米巴角膜炎样本中最少可检测到10个棘阿米巴原虫。在棘阿米巴角膜炎小鼠模型中,直接PCR法在感染后第1、3、5、7、10、15天的阳性检出率分别为80.0%、90.0%、80.0%、70.0%、70.0%和50.0%,总阳性率为73.3%,高于原虫培养法的31.7%,差异有统计学意义(P=0.005);K0H封片镜检的总阳性率为56.7%,real—timePCR法检测的总阳性率为61.7%,均略低于直接PCR法,差异均无统计学意义(P=0.056、0.172)。结论直接PCR法操作简单,在上述4种方法中对棘阿米巴原虫检测的特异性和敏感性最高,能够快速诊断棘阿米巴角膜炎,尤其对于待检标本少而无法提取DNA的患者可首选。 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To report cases of culture-proved Acanthamoeba keratitis in Greece over a 10-year period and to evaluate the effectiveness of the commonly used commercial contact lens disinfecting systems in clinical cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: During the years 1994-2004, 45 contact lens wearers and 3 non-contact lens wearers presenting with symptoms and signs of keratitis underwent corneal sampling. The scrapings obtained were inoculated directly onto appropriate culture media for bacteria, fungi and Acanthamoeba. All proved positive for Acanthamoeba. The contact lenses and contact lens disinfecting solutions (16 one-step 3% hydrogen peroxide and 3 multipurpose solutions) of 19/45 patients with culture-proven Acanthamoeba keratitis were cultured for bacteria, fungi and Acanthamoeba. RESULTS: Acanthamoeba was isolated from contact lenses and contact lens disinfecting solutions in all 19 cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis studied. CONCLUSIONS: The main risk factor for corneal infection in contact lens wearers is the use of contact lens disinfecting systems ineffective at killing Acanthamoeba cysts and trophozoites, as well as bacteria and fungi. Improvement or development of new contact lens disinfecting systems by manufacturers is needed to prevent Acanthamoeba keratitis. 相似文献

Contact lens disinfection systems were evaluated for their effectiveness in killing Acanthamoeba castellanii and Acanthamoeba polyphaga trophozoites and cysts. Amoebae were inoculated into commercially available contact lens cleaning and soaking solutions. At intervals varying from 30 minutes to 24 hours, solutions were filtered. The filters were removed and cultured for Acanthamoeba organisms. Striking differences were observed in the abilities of the different disinfecting solutions to kill the organisms. Solutions containing chlorhexidine were effective at very short exposure times. Solutions containing benzalkonium chloride required slightly longer exposure times but were faster than solutions containing only thimerosal. Solutions containing sorbate, polyaminopropyl biguanide, or polyquaternium-1 were not effective at killing Acanthamoeba organisms in the time allotted for the experiment. Solutions containing hydrogen peroxide were quite effective if the agent was not prematurely catalyzed. A. polyphaga generally required longer exposure to disinfectants than did A. castellanii for complete inhibition to occur. 相似文献

Thirteen commercially available contact lens solutions were tested for their ability to kill the cysts of Acanthamoeba culbertsoni. Miraflow, which contains 20% isopropyl alcohol, was the most effective at killing the cyst (94%), followed by solutions containing thimerosal (89%). The rigid gas permeable lens solutions in general were more effective than soft lens solutions. None of the solutions tested were completely cidal, but our data do suggest a combination of a good daily cleaner and disinfecting solution may be effective in reducing acanthamoeba exposure. These findings should provide guidelines for the practitioner in selecting the best disinfection system for the contact lens patient. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Microbially contaminated contact lens cases are a predisposing risk factor for Acanthamoeba keratitis. Several findings have shown that microwave irradiation kills the six Food and Drug Administration test challenge microorganisms. We aimed to determine what effect microwave irradiation has on Acanthamoeba trophozoites and cysts. METHODS: Different types of contact lens cases were contaminated with trophozoites and cysts of three different Acanthamoeba species (A. comandoni, A. castellanii, A. hatchetti) and were exposed to microwave irradiation for 3, 5, and 8 minutes, respectively. RESULTS: Trophozoites, as well as cysts of the different Acanthamoeba strains, were effectively killed, even by only 3 minutes of microwave irradiation, and there were no negative effects of irradiation on the contact lens cases themselves. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that microwave treatment is a very effective, easy, and cheap method to keep contact lens cases free of Acanthamoeba, thus considerably reducing the risk of an Acanthamoeba keratitis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIM: Contact lens cases contaminated with Acanthamoeba are a major risk factor for an infection of the eye. In this study the anti-Acanthamoeba activity of three different contact lens storage solutions was tested. METHODS: A new multipurpose contact lens storage solution (Meni Care Plus) and a two step (Titmus H(2)O(2)) and one step (Oxysept Comfort) hydrogen peroxide system were tested for their effects on trophozoites and cysts of three different Acanthamoeba species: A castellanii, A hatchetti, and A lenticulata. RESULTS: After a soaking time of 8 hours (overnight soaking of contact lenses) the Titmus H(2)O(2) 0.6% solution showed very good amoebicidal effects, while Oxysept Comfort 3% H(2)O(2) could not effectively destroy the cysts of any of the three tested species. Viable cysts of the species A lenticulata and A hatchetti were still present after exposure to Meni Care Plus (0.0005% PHMB) for 8 hours. CONCLUSION: Not all of the three tested contact lens storage solutions have sufficient amoebicidal effects. The two step peroxide system Titmus H(2)O(2) is a very effective disinfectant contact lens solution in order to avoid a possible Acanthamoeba infection of the eye. 相似文献

We analyzed bacterial and fungal contamination within the contact lens care systems of ten patients who had Acanthamoeba detected within their care systems. Seven patients had Acanthamoeba keratitis, one had Pseudomonas keratitis, and the remaining two were asymptomatic. Gram-negative bacteria were found in all ten care systems, and Pseudomonas was found in six. Bacillus species, the only gram-positive bacteria isolated, were found in five systems. Fungi were isolated in six care systems. The use of homemade saline and the two-cup method of peroxide disinfection were associated with microbial contamination. Acanthamoeba organisms were found only in contact lens cases or solutions that also had bacterial and in many cases fungal contamination, suggesting that the presence of bacterial and fungal contamination within the contact lens care system may be an important element for the survival and growth of Acanthamoeba. 相似文献

We examined the contact lens care systems of 100 asymptomatic patients who used hard or soft contact lenses for correction of refractive errors for the presence of bacteria, fungi, Acanthamoeba, and endotoxin. Of 100 patients, 52 had contaminated contact lens care systems. Sixteen of 126 bottles (13%) of commercial contact lens care solutions were contaminated. Contaminated commercial solutions were opened and used for a longer period of time than uncontaminated solutions. Contamination was not found in bottles of preserved commercial solutions that were opened and used for less than 21 days. All 12 bottles of homemade saline were contaminated with bacteria, and Acanthamoeba was isolated from two of these bottles. Pseudomonas was found in the care systems of 12 patients. Bacillus species, which form spores resistant to heat, were found in the care systems of seven patients. Endotoxin, which is also resistant to heat, was detected in nine of 35 care systems (26%) tested. Potential pathogens were isolated from the conjunctiva of six patients. 相似文献

PURPOSE: BEN22 detergent was studied for its ability to detach Acanthamoeba from soft contact lenses without mechanical cleaning or separate cleaning agents. METHODS: Trophozoites of Acanthamoeba castellanii and A. polyphaga were adhered onto nonionic, high water content soft contact lenses. The lenses were immersed for 2 hours in contact lens care solutions and the remaining trophozoites were counted microscopically. The counts were compared to the counts on the same lens before treatment. RESULTS: BEN22 (50:50 mixture of L-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-hydroxydecanoyl-beta-hydroxydecanoate and 2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-hydroxydecanoyl-beta-hydroxydecanoate) (Kassell Industries, Inc., Wisconsin Dells, WI) in a concentration of 0.05% detached the trophozoites to a statistically significant greater extent than saline, but commercial ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution (Bausch & Lomb, Italy) and BioSoak (Finnsusp Ltd., Finland) did so as well. ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution was more effective than 0.005% BEN22 in detaching the trophozoites of both of the Acanthamoeba strains. After the 2 hour immersion period, a maximum of 97% of the initial trophozoites were detached. The variation between individual lenses was significantly greater than that within the different areas of one lens. CONCLUSIONS: BEN22 had no reliable detaching effect on Acanthamoeba. The variation between lenses was great, and the rate of detachment was low with all the agents tested indicating that immersion and rinsing in the solutions tested cannot be considered as a safe substitute for proper disinfection against Acanthamoeba in contact lens care. 相似文献

Comparative antimicrobial efficacy of soft and rigid gas permeable contact lens solutions against Acanthamoeba 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Ten soft contact lens cleaners, three rigid gas permeable contact lens (RGP) disinfecting-soaking solutions, and four hydrophilic contact lens disinfecting solutions were evaluated by laboratory challenge procedures for their antimicrobial efficacy against trophozoites and cysts of Acanthamoeba polyphaga and Acanthamoeba castellanii. MiraFlow was the only cleaner that killed trophozoites and cysts on all lenses during the cleaning step. A disinfecting solution preserved with chlorhexidine and one preserved with benzalkonium chloride killed trophozoites of A. polyphaga within 4 hours, but cysts persisted in both solutions for at least 2 days. Cysts of A. polyphaga survived in three disinfecting solutions up to one week, whereas those of A. castellanii were recovered from six disinfecting solutions at 7 days. An RGP solution that is marketed only in Japan was effective against trophozoites and cysts of both species within 30 minutes. 相似文献
