Abstract :

Naegleria fowleri is also known as a brain-eating amoeba commonly found in freshwater environments. This free-living amoeba can cause primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). A rare but deadly brain infection. Inhabits warm freshwater lakes, hot springs, and poorly chlorinated swimming pools. Naegleria fowleri uses our nasal passageway to enter our brains, which rarely ends well. Tragically, PAM sufferers have a dismal prognosis because there is no treatment. Our best defense is preventing PAM. To stay safe, avoid freshwater activities in poor warm bodies of water. Furthermore, water system treatment and disinfection can prevent Naegleria fowleri from nasal irrigation. Use only sterile or well-treated water. We fight Naegleria fowleri relentlessly. Public health authorities protect public health by monitoring and reporting PAM cases and investigating outbreaks. Their prevention education shows their dedication to saving lives through constant vigilance and awareness of Naegleria fowleri omnipresence and risks. Overcoming this dangerous amoeba reduces the risk of PAM infections.
