The University of Michigan health blog recently reported on a Acanthamoeba case in a Lansing , Michigan woman.
She was initially diagnosed as having pink eye; however, things got worse and after going to six doctors, she was referred to the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center where she was diagnosed with the parasitic infection.
Joining me today to talk about Acanthamoeba and this case is Shahzad Mian, M.D. Dr. Mian is a professor of ophthalmology at Michigan Medicine.
