Three patients, women aged 69, 25 and 30 years, with refractory keratitis were found to have a rare infection with Acanthamoeba. All wore soft contact lenses. The frequency of Acanthamoeba keratitis increased in recent years. At present, an efficacious antiprotozoal therapy is available, for instance in the form of polyhexamethylene biguanide and propamidine. In cases of refractory keratitis, the possibility of an Acanthamoeba infection should be taken into account.
三名年龄分别为69岁、25岁和30岁的女性患者患有难治性角膜炎，她们被发现感染了一种罕见的棘阿米巴。她们都佩戴软性隐形眼镜。近年来，棘阿米巴角膜炎的发病率有所上升。目前，有有效的抗原生动物疗法，例如以聚六亚甲基双胍和丙脒的形式。对于难治性角膜炎病例，应考虑棘阿米巴感染的可能性。
