Freilebende #Amöben wie #Naegleria fowleri können schwere Infektionen auslösen.

Sie leben in warmem #Süßwasser und gelangen beim Schwimmen über die Nase in den Körper. Steigende Temperaturen durch den #Klimawandel erweitern ihren Lebensraum und erschweren die Kontrolle. Fälle in Europa zeigen, dass auch neue Regionen betroffen sein können. Fachleute empfehlen sorgfältige #Wasserhygiene und Vorsicht in warmen Gewässern, um das Risiko zu senken.

#Fatal Case of #Naegleria fowleri #PAM from Indoor #Surfing Center, #Taiwan, 2023, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/9/23-1604_article

We investigated a fatal case of primary amoebic #meningoencephalitis from an indoor surfing center in Taiwan. Case was detected through encephalitis syndromic surveillance. Of 56 environmental specimens, 1 was positive for Naegleria fowleri ameba. This report emphasizes risk for N. fowleri infection from inadequately disinfected recreational waters, even indoors.

El paciente, sin enfermedades preexistentes, fue ingresado en una UCI en estado crítico a causa de meningoencefalitis amebiana, una infección rara causada por la ameba #Naegleria fowleri. Se supone que se infectó en una playa de la costa occidental del lago de Tiberíades conocido también como mar de Galilea, lago de Genesaret y lago de Kineret.

Laut dem Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in den USA werden jedes Jahr nur 0 bis 5 Infektionen im Land gemeldet. Die Sterblichkeitsrate des Mikroorganismus liegt jedoch bei über 97%: Nur 4 von 154 Infizierten zwischen 1962 und 2021 überlebten in den USA.
