PURPOSE
To report a case of Arthrographis kalrae keratitis and to note that its clinical manifestation resembles Acanthamoeba corneal infection.
METHODS
Case report.
RESULTS
The patient's keratitis was caused by A kalrae, a very rare soil fungus.
CONCLUSIONS
Arthrographis kalrae can cause a keratitis that manifests with severe photophobia and a slowly progressive corneal infiltrate whose symptoms can mimic Acanthamoeba. Our patient most likely acquired the fungus from exposure to soil and not from her contact lenses.
目的
报告一例卡尔氏节菱孢菌角膜炎病例，并指出其临床表现类似于棘阿米巴角膜感染。
方法
病例报告。
结果
患者的角膜炎由卡尔氏节菱孢菌引起，这是一种非常罕见的土壤真菌。
结论
卡尔氏节菱孢菌可引起角膜炎，表现为严重畏光和角膜浸润缓慢进展，其症状可模仿棘阿米巴感染。我们的患者很可能是通过接触土壤而非隐形眼镜感染了这种真菌。
