Naegleria
Fowleri Amoeba, These victims died after swimming
in hot springs, the source of warm water and rinse your nose with tap
water. It happened the same type of water-water after touching it. Not
unexpectedly, the water-water that contains brain-eating
amoeba that causes severe brain damage.
In June 2011, a man in Louisiana died from the Naegleria Fowleri
Amoeba infection after rinsing his nose in tap water. The second
incident on August 14, 2011, a 16-year-old girl in Florida, the U.S.
also died from the same infection after swimming in warm water, as
reported by LiveScience.
Finally, a 9-year-old boy in Virginia, the United States has recently
also died of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, which is an infection
caused by the Amoeba Naegleria Fowleri. He died after swimming
in hot springs.
Disease
primary amoebic meningoencephalitis occurred rarely and virtually
untreatable. According to the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) U.S., over the range of 2001 to 2010 there were reports
of 32 cases. While of some of the drugs successfully tested in the
laboratory, only a few that are proven to save patients from being
infected.
Naegleria Fowleri Amoeba can be fatal because it attacks the
central nervous system. The inflammation stems from the olfactory nerve
and growing rapidly spread to parts of the brain, brainstem, posterior
fossa and spinal cord. This amoeba breed in the eyes of many sources of
warm water.
Amoeba infection is not curable, partly because of new symptoms will
appear seven days after exposure to the amoeba, the same as bacterial
meningitis.
Symptoms of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis include headache,
fever, anorexia, vomiting, dead inflammation, altered mental status and
coma. In addition, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis usually only be
diagnosed by autopsy, as well as bacterial meningitis.
According to the CDC, the key to diagnosis is only on things that are
done before the patient dies, especially if the patient is fit and
healthy before symptoms appear after a week previously exposed to warm
water. Other signs such as symptoms of bacterial meningitis that can be
known through the CT scan of the head.
Virginia Hall appealed to the community epidemiology aware of the
risks before swimming, especially during the rainy season with
temperatures no higher and in order to avoid swimming in still water or
slow-moving.
In 2008, the CDC had reported that so far have found 121 similar
cases from 1937 to 2007, but only one was saved. A report in 1982 in the
New England Journal of Medicine revealed
that a California girl nine years of successfully treated after
contracting an infection while swimming in hot springs in the
San Bernardino National Forest. Cause Naegleria
Fowleri Amoeba too.
