died from a brain infection associated with primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) after inhaling an ameba known as Naegleria fowleri while swimming in a central Florida lake this July.

The disease is called ``primary amebic meningoencephalitis,'' and it is caused by a one-celled organism that commonly makes its home in freshwater lakes, particularly if they are warm and stagnant.

It includes common infections, such as giardiasis, and uncommon infections such as Amebic meningoencephalitis.

On July 2, 2014, the Florida Department of Health was notified of a suspected case of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).

Primary amebic meningoencephalitis, a typically fatal amebic infection of the central nervous system, is caused by the thermophilic, freshwater protozoan, Naegleria fowleri, first identified in 1965 (Figure 1).

Microscopic brain tissue examination showed signs of acute granulomatous inflammation, multiple hemorrhagic infarctions, and angiitis in the presence of numerous amebic trophozoites and cysts (Figure), which showed granulomatous hemorrhagic necrotic amebic meningoencephalitis.

3) Naegleria fowleri can cause a rapidly progressive and typically fatal amebic encephalitis, primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), following warm freshwater exposures, which enable the organism to penetrate the nasal mucosa and invade the brain via the olfactory nerve tracts.
