, 2022 Abstract This case report describes a survivor of Balamuthia mandrillaris granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) after treatment with the novel agent nitroxoline, a drug typically used to treat urinary tract infections. Nitroxoline was previously identified in a screen of US and European approved drugs for amoebicidal activity against this ...

Metabolic Profile Associated With Encystation in Acanthamoeba
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT The genus Acanthamoeba includes widespread protozoa that can cause severe infections in humans. Their ability to form resistant cysts within infected tissues complicates treatment, making it essential to understand the encystation process for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

Autoimmunity in the Mediation of Granulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis: Implications for Therapy [PDF]
, 2011 Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living amoebae that are ubiquitous in the environment. Most healthy individuals carry Acanthamoeba-reactive antibodies, suggesting constant exposure to amoebae. In spite of the high prevalence of the amoebae, the incidence of diseases caused by Acanthamoeba is very low.

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 148-157, June 2025.Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 27, Issue 1, January/February 2025.Acanthamoeba infection in HCT recipients, represent multiple challenges. Early diagnosis, and effective treatment, remain the main barriers to survival. High index of suspicion, may help in identifying cases earlier. Given its ubiquiteness, source identification remains challenging.

Serum Antibodies toBalamuthia mandrillaris,a Free‐Living Amoeba Recently Demonstrated to Cause Granulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1999 Free-living amoebae cause three well-defined disease entities: a rapidly fatal primary meningoencephalitis, a chronic granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE), and a chronic amoebic keratitis. GAE occurs in immunocompromised persons. Recently, another type of free-living amoeba, Balamuthia mandrillaris, has been shown to cause GAE.

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Noncanonical autophagy including unconventional protein secretion has been extensively studied. Our work focused on a leaderless IL‐1β protein secretion from human macrophage in response to Acanthamoeba castellanii components, Acanthamoeba culture supernatant (CS) and cell lysate (CL), as well as its association with macrophage autophagy.
