N. fowleri produces primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).

The WBDOSS receives data about waterborne disease outbreaks and single cases of waterborne diseases of public health importance (for example, Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM)) in the United States and then disseminates information about these diseases, outbreaks, and their causes.

The amoeba then attack the brain and cause primary amoebic meningoencephalitis.

Therefore, it may be a more useful therapeutic agent for the treatment of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis than amphotericin B."

Fatal primary amoebic meningoencephalitis has occurred following swimming in warm dirty water in areas around the world, although fortunately it is rare.

Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis and Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis can also invade the brain.

Naegleria fowleri is sometimes included in the group "free-living amoebae", and it causes a condition traditionally called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis.

It can also reach brain through blood vessel and cause amoebic brain abscess and amoebic meningoencephalitis.

Further, it has been used with amphotericin B in largely unsuccessful attempts to treat primary amoebic meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria fowleri.

Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis e.g., Naegleria fowleri, Balamuthia mandrillaris, Sappinia diploidea.

Certain parasitic or protozoal infestations, such as toxoplasmosis, malaria, or primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, can also cause encephalitis in people with compromised immune systems.

It then becomes pathogenic, causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM or PAME).

Once the amoeba enters the brain, it causes a usually fatal infection called Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM).

Another IV use is as a drug of last resort in otherwise-untreatable parasitic protozoan infections such as visceral leishmaniasis and primary amoebic meningoencephalitis.

Naegleria fowleri present in unboiled or otherwise unsterilized water causes the fatal brain infection primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).

House calls and informs Cameron of this revelation, but Cameron has already performed the biopsy, and both teams have simultaneously discovered the true disease, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis.

Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM, or PAME) is a disease of the central nervous system caused by infection from Naegleria fowleri.

Orange County, Fla. has had 16 cases of Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, in 47 years, of 32 PAM cases recorded in the state of Florida.

On the basis of the in vitro evidence alone, the CDC currently recommends treatment with amphotericin B for primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, but no evidence supports this treatment affecting outcome.

In 2007, the death of three children in or near Orange County, due to a rare, deadly infection, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) prompted a public health investigation in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control.

In the conclusion of the episode, Cameron, acting as Foreman's medical proxy, performs a white-matter brain biopsy and the condition is revealed to be primary amoebic meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria, a water-borne parasite that, upon being inhaled, attacks the brain.

In 1966, Fowler termed the infection resulting from N. fowleri primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) to distinguish this central nervous system (CNS) invasion from other secondary invasions caused by other true amoebas such as Entamoeba histolytica.

Anton-Babinski syndrome was featured in two episodes of the television series House M.D., titled "Euphoria, Part 1" and "Euphoria, Part 2", although it was ascribed to primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a disease that usually does not cause the syndrome in real life.
