Fig. 2. Morphological analysis of Acanthamoeba spp. using calcofluor-white staining. (A) Acanthamoeba cysts in a group under light microscopy (400×, scale bar = 10 μm). (B) Acanthamoeba trophozoites with a single large nucleus and numerous vacuoles were conspicuous under light microscopy (200×, scale bar = 10 μm). (C) Remarkable Acanthamoeba cysts with double cyst walls under fluorescence microscopy (400×, scale bar = 10 μm). (D) Acanthamoeba trophozoites were relatively unremarkable under fluorescence microscopy (400×, scale bar = 10 μm).

Fig. 1. Anterior segment photographs of the patient in this case study. The top two anterior segment images were taken under slit-lamp microscope (A, B) and the bottom two images were under cobalt blue light after fluorescein dye staining (C, D). During the slit-lamp microscopy examination of the patient’s left eye, radial keratoneuritis was observed in the central corneal stroma, while vitreous and retina showed no abnormalities.
