#naegleria — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Successful #Treatment of Confirmed #Naegleria fowleri Primary Amebic #Meningoencephalitis, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/4/23-0979_article

#PAM caused by Naegleria fowleri is a rare but nearly always fatal #parasitic infection of the #brain. Globally, few survivors have been reported, and the disease has no specific treatment. We report a confirmed case in #Pakistan in a 22-year-old man who survived after aggressive therapy.
