Balamuthia Mandrillaris Amoebic Encephalitis: An Emerging Parasitic Infection
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2012Balamuthia mandrillaris is a free living amoeba that can be isolated from soil. It is an emerging pathogen causing skin lesions as well as CNS involvement with a fatal outcome if untreated. The infection has been described more commonly in inmunocompetent individuals, mostly males, many children, and with a predilection for population with Hispanic ...

Fatal granulomatous amoebic meningoencephalitis due to Balamuthia mandrillaris
Pathology - Research and Practice, 2008Amoebic infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are very rare and usually fatal. A 33-year-old Bolivian male injured his elbow 18 months ago in an accident and, months later, developed multiple skin lesions. He was admitted with confusion, and brain images showed large multifocal lesions with mass effect.

Novel culture medium for the axenic growth of Balamuthia mandrillaris
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2015Until now, for axenic cultivation of Balamuthia mandrillaris, the BM-3 culture medium and the Modified Chang's special medium have been the only ones recommended, but they have some disadvantages, as both require many components and their preparations are laborious. Therefore, we developed a novel culture medium for B.

BALAMUTHIA MANDRILLARIS MENINGOENCEPHALITIS: THE FIRST CASE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2004We present a case of 23-year-old man with acute meningoencephalitis, accompanied by inflammation of a nasal ulcer. He had been healthy until six months prior to admission to the hospital when he had a motorcycle accident. A star-shaped wound at his nose was incurred after falling into a swamp.

Balamuthia mandrillaris: een beestachtige doodsoorzaak
Critical Care, 2014In deze casus bespreken we de ziektegeschiedenis van een patiente die na een bezoek aan Gambia met een meningitisachtig beeld werd opgenomen op de ic van het Erasmus Medisch Centrum Rotterdam (EMC). Ze overleed uiteindelijk aan een granulomateuze amoeben encefalitis (GAE), veroorzaakt door de Balamuthia mandrillaris.

Experimental Parasitology, 2010
Multiple nuclei were first noted in the pseudopodia of Balamuthia mandrillaris amebas feeding on mammalian cells. Phase microscope observations of live amebas in vitro reveal that while many amebas have a single nucleus, others have multiple nuclear-like structures, now confirmed as nuclei with hematoxylin and Feulgen stains.

Isolation and habitat analysis of Balamuthia mandrillaris from soil
Parasitology ResearchBalamuthia mandrillaris is a free-living amoeba that causes meningoencephalitis in mammals. Over 200 cases of infection were reported worldwide, with a fatality rate of over 95%. A clear route of infection was unknown for a long time until a girl died of granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) in California, USA, in 2003 due to infection with B ...
