    4. A diagram that starts with the immunocompromised host, who has granulomatous amebic encephalitis, which is manifest asacanthamoeba-related bone infection, dermatitis, and pneumonitis. This progresses through nasal infection to two photographs, one showing an Acanthamoeba trophozoite, the other showing an Acanthamoeba cyst, and an arrow between the two photographs. Through the environment,, including air, dust, soil and freshwater, contact lens use is affected, leading to contaminated ineffective solutions, corneal trauma, and acanthamoeba keratitis.
