Frequently Asked Question
The symptoms of Naegleria infection include:
- Severe headache
- High fever
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stiff neck
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
- Altered mental status (confusion, disorientation)
- Loss of balance
- Seizures
- Hallucinations

People become infected when water containing Naegleria fowleri enters the nose and the ameba migrates to the brain along the olfactory nerve. People do not become infected from drinking contaminated water. The infection is caused by the following modes of exposure: Water Activities: Naegleria fowleri infection most commonly occurs when contaminated water enters the body through the nasal passages. Activities that can lead to exposure include swimming, diving, water sports, or even using contaminated water for nasal irrigation or sinus rinsing.
- Microscopic examination of fresh, unfrozen, unrefrigerated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- Polymerase Chain Reaction: amplify DNA from the amebae in cerebrospinal fluid or tissue
- Antigen Detection
To prevent Naegleria fowleri infection, you can take the following precautions:
- Avoid warm freshwater: Don’t swim in lakes, hot springs, or stagnant pools.
- Use nose protection: Wear nose clips during water activities.
- Be careful with nasal irrigation: Use sterile water for neti pots.
- Follow pool guidelines: Ensure proper maintenance and chlorination.
- Stay informed: Know about local Naegleria fowleri presence.
- Use safe water for ablution: Boiled or distilled water only for nasal irrigation.
Currently, PAM is treated with a combination of drugs, often including amphotericin B, azithromycin, fluconazole, rifampin, miltefosine, and dexamethasone. These drugs are used because they are thought to be effective against Naegleria fowleri and have been used to treat patients who survived.
Naegleria symptoms may be mild at first and include headache, fever, nausea, or vomiting. Later symptoms may include stiff neck, confusion, seizures, and hallucinations. The disease generally causes death within about 5 days after symptoms start.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that is a leading cause of disability in young adults. This can cause permanent damage to the peripheral and central nervous systems.
The test result is abnormal when oligoclonal bands are discovered in your cerebrospinal fluid and absent in your bloodstream. More than 90% of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients show oligoclonal IgG bands in CSF. However, they may also be found in Guillain-Barré syndrome, CNS infections (including neurosyphilis and HIV infection), after cerebrovascular accidents and in other CNS disorders.
Normal results are reported when no oligoclonal bands are found in your CSF.
If your physician suspects inflammation in your central nervous system, they will order a CSF oligoclonal band test.
3-5 CC Serum and CSF from the same patient must be collected at the same time and transported immediately to the laboratory.
