Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis.

A R Cain, P F Wiley, B Brownell, D C Warhurst.   

Abstract

The third case in the UK of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis is reported; it affected an 11-year-old girl. Six days before admission the girl had swum in a pool fed by hot spring water in which the causative agent Naegleria fowleri was found. Early treatment with amphotericin B would seem to offer the only hope of recovery in this almost uniformly fatal infection.
