Abstract:
:A 57-year-old chronically immunosuppressed woman with systemic lupus erythematosus developed fulminant meningoencephalitis due to Acanthamoeba castellanii. Amebic trophozoites were also found in the lungs, suggesting a primary pulmonary focus of infection. This case illustrates that Acanthamoeba can cause a fulminant, rapidly fatal meningoencephalitis, as well as the previously reported chronic granulomatous meningoencephalitis. X
