Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a very rare disease with high mortality. PAM is caused by Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that lives in freshwater lakes and ponds and is able to survive in insufficiently chlorinated pools. Over the past 50 years, more than 130 cases of negleria have been reported in the United States, with only three known survivors being promptly diagnosed and treated at Arkansas Children's Hospital (USA). On the territory of the Russian Federation, no cases of infection were recorded. On the territory of the Russian Federation, no cases of infection were recorded. Successful treatment of SAM is associated with the possibility of accurate diagnosis, the use of modern antimicrobial therapy, including the experimental drug miltefosine, intraventricular shunting, and hypothermia.
