Between January 2005 and May 2007, the CDC had identified 138 cases of Acanthomelobe Keratitis infections (a rare but potentially blinding infection of the cornea of the eye) in 35 states and Puerto Rico. Although only 46 interviews of infected individuals have been acquired, the results indicate a linkage to the use of Complete MoisturePlus Multipurpose contact lens solution.

Too often an initial suspicious outbreak is just lots of different illnesses that are being confused for the same thing or an error from the lab or other monitoring systems. So it’s important to study sign/symptoms and study the number of cases. The case definition will create a standardized method for identifying past, present and future cases. It should include clinical information, characteristics of those with the disease, and geographic and timing information about the cluster of cases. A good case definition starts out very inclusive so as not to miss any potential cases that do not have the typically identified symptoms. As the investigation continues for an unknown disease, this definition may become more restricted to ensure we focus on persons who truly have the illness of concern. After confirmation, they take appropriate action.As in above cases in only 46 interviews have been developed infection still part of their procedure they have to follow all three steps which mention above..
