We report a fatal case of disseminated acanthamebiasis caused by Acanthamoeba lenticulata (genotype T5) in a 39-year-old heart transplant recipient. The diagnosis was based on skin histopathologic results and confirmed by isolation of the ameba from involved skin and molecular analysis of a partial 18S rRNA gene sequence (DF3).
我们报告了一例由扁豆棘阿米巴(基因型T5)引起的播散性棘阿米巴病致死病例,患者为一名39岁的心脏移植受者。诊断基于皮肤组织病理学结果,并通过从受累皮肤中分离出阿米巴以及对部分18S rRNA基因序列(DF3)进行分子分析得以证实。
