Naegleria fowleri is a free-living ameba that causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare but usually fatal disease. We analyzed trends in recreational water exposures associated with PAM cases reported during 1978-2018 in the United States. Although PAM incidence remained stable, the geographic range of exposure locations expanded northward.
福氏耐格里阿米巴是一种自由生活的变形虫,可引起原发性阿米巴脑膜脑炎(PAM),这是一种罕见但通常致命的疾病。我们分析了 1978 年至 2018 年期间美国报告的 PAM 病例与休闲水暴露相关的趋势。尽管 PAM 的发病率保持稳定,但暴露地点的地理范围向北扩展。
