The role of plasma metagenomic sequencing in identification of Balamuthia mandrillaris encephalitis

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Balamuthia mandrillaris is a rare, free-living amoeba (FLA) that causes granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, a disease with close to 90% mortality. The geographical ranges of many FLA are expanding, potentially increasing human exposure to B. mandrillaris.
