Atypical Imaging and Neurological Progression of Balamuthia Mandrillaris Encephalitis in Pediatric Patient – A Case Report

Background: Balamuthia mandrillaris is a free-living amoebic agent affecting the central nervous system or skin with a 95% mortality rate, eventually manifesting as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) or meningoencephalitis in both immunocompetent ...

Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to infections caused by free-living amoebae pathogenic to humans

, 2014
Naegleria fowleri, Balamuthia mandrillaris and Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living amoebae which rarely cause human infections. N. fowleri induces primary amoebic meningoencephalitis mostly among children and young adults. B.

Proposals for amendments in the diagnosis and treatment of encephalitis caused by free-living amoebae

, 2019
Encephalitis caused by Free-living amoebae (FLA) has a mortality rate of around 95-98%, a fraction that has not changed in the past decades. Pathogenic FLA include Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia mandrillaris, and Naegleria fowleri that are known to target the ...
