Diagnostic accuracy of confocal scan in detecting acanthamoeba keratitis and fungal keratitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionThe accuracy of confocal scan for the diagnosis of AK was significantly more than that for detecting FK; despite the limitations such as limited numbers of available retrospective studies for the detection of FK, confocal scan had an acceptable performance in detecting FK eyes. The  overall performance of NCS was similar with that of HRT-RCM for the detection of both types of keratitis.
