英文摘要	Ministry of Health, China; Ministry of Science and Technology, China [2012BAI08B01]; National Natural Science Foundation of China [81170817, 81200658]; Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality, Shanghai [13430720400, 134119a8800, 13430710500]; A 56-year-old woman with a history of disposable soft contact lens wear was referred to our university eye center for a corneal ulcer. Based on the microbial culture, the initial diagnosis was bacterial keratitis, which was unresponsive to topical fortified antibiotics. The patient was then examined using in vivo confocal microscopy, which revealed Acanthamoeba infection. This case emphasizes the need to suspect Acanthamoeba infection in soft contact lens wearers who present with progressive ulcerative keratitis or progressively worsening corneal ulcers that are not responsive to the usual antimicrobial therapy. It is also important to consider the possibility of a coinfection with bacterial and Acanthamoeba species.
