초록
A 62-year-old man with multiple myeloma visited our clinic with multiple painful erythem- atous to purpuric nodules on his whole body. He received a skin biopsy which showed septal and lobular inf lammation with vasculitis, and multiple amoebic organisms were found. Polymerase chain reaction and culture were performed and an Acanthamoeba triangularis infection was diagnosed. This is the first report on cutaneous acanthamoebiasis caused by A. triangularis, suggesting that A. triangularis should be regarded as a clinical pathogen that can cause ocular as well as disseminated infection.
