Amoebic meningoencephalitis: what is it?Amoebic meningoencephalitis is an incredibly rare but deadly illness of the central nervous system that poses a risk to human health. Amoebae, usually Naegleria fowleri, which live in warm freshwater habitats such as lakes and hot springs, are the source of this illness. Usually during swimming or diving, this amoeba enters the body by the nose and makes its way to the brain, where it causes inflammation and the loss of brain tissue.
The illness advances quickly, and its earliest symptoms—headache, fever, nausea, and vomiting—resemble those of bacterial meningitis. Within a few days, other symptoms like confusion, convulsions, and coma may appear as the amoeba eats away at brain cells. Unfortunately, because amoebic meningoencephalitis progresses quickly and resembles other illnesses, it is challenging to detect at an early stage.
