Diagnosis of the primary amoebic meningoencephalitis due to Naegleria fowleri.

Abstract:

:Trophozoites of the free-living amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, were isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of meningoencephalitis patient. The infecting agent was identified as N. fowleri based on morphologic, serologic and molecular techniques carried out on the isolated organisms.
