Naegleria fowleri is a protist pathogen that can cause lethal brain infection. Despite decades of research, the mortality rate related with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis owing to N. fowleri remains more than 90%. The amoebae pass through the nose to enter the central nervous system killing the host within days, making it one of the deadliest opportunistic parasites. Accordingly, we presen...
The pathogenic amoeba Naegleria fowleri has a 360-bp nfa1 gene that encodes the Nfa1 protein (13.1 kDa), which is located in the pseudopodia of the amoeba, and an anti-Nfa1 antibody reduces N. fowleri-induced mammalian-cell cytotoxicity in vitro. In contrast, an anti-Nfa1 antibody cannot detect Nfa1 protein expression in the nonpathogenic amoeba Naegleria gruberi, which also possesses the nfa1 ...
BACKGROUND Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a fulminant disease of the brain caused by Naegleria fowleri. Although the disease is rare, the case fatality rate is very high. In this report, we describe the first case of PAM in Zambia. CASE PRESENTATION The patient presented with sudden onset of seizures and fever on admission. On physical examination he was febrile, comatose and wi...
BACKGROUND Naegleria fowleri primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) has a very high mortality rate, probably exceeding 95%. A few people have survived after getting intravenous and intrathecal amphotericin, variably coupled with other agents that include dexamethasone, diflucan, chloramphenicol and rifampin, but even with prompt initiation of therapy, it is still a very uphill battle. PRESE...
