Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis Caused by Naegleria fowleri

International Healthcare Review (online)
BACKGROUND: Naegleria fowleri is a free-living amoeba (FLA) ubiquitous to the environment. Although harmless when ingested, it can access a person's brain through the nasal cavities and cause an acute infection known as primary amoebic ...

Primary Amoebic (Naegleria) Meningoencephalitis

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1982
The computed tomographic (CT) appearance of a case of primary meningoencephalitis due to the free living amoeba Naegleria fowleri is presented. The cisterns around and above the midbrain and the subarachnoid spaces were obliterated on precontrast CT. Marked enhancement in these regions was seen after intravenous contrast medium administration.

Identification of differential protein recognition pattern between Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria lovaniensis

Parasite immunology (Print), 2020
Many pathogenicity factors are involved in the development of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) caused by N fowleri. However, most of them are not exclusive for N fowleri and they have not even been described in other nonpathogenic Naegleria ...

Naegleria and Acanthamoeba Infections: Review

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1990
Infections caused by small, free-living amebas are still unfamiliar to many clinicians, pathologists, and laboratorians. As of 31 July 1989, more than 140 cases of primary amebic meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria fowleri and more than 40 cases of granulomatous amebic encephalitis caused by Acanthamoeba species (including two cases in patients ...

Naegleria meningomyeloencephalitis.

The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health, 1997
A case of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) with severe spinal cord involvement was documented in a 12 year-old boy from Samut Prakan Province, Thailand. This is the first reported case of Naegleria meningomyeloencephalitis in Thailand. He had a history of swimming in the canal nearby his house prior to the fever, headache and convulsion which ...

Genotyping Naegleria spp. and Naegleria fowleri isolates by interrepeat polymerase chain reaction

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1992
All six Naegleria species recognized to date were studied by interrepeat polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Priming at repeat sequences, which are known to be variable among eukaryotes, yielded electrophoretic DNA banding patterns that were specific for any single species.

Youngest Survivor of Naegleria Meningitis

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2012
Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAME) is a rare condition, usually caused by free living motile amebae. These are universally fatal infections with very few survivors reported till now. The authors report a 25-d-old boy, the youngest survivor of Naegleria meningitis. The child was admitted with a diagnosis of partially treated meningitis.
