Gents and Ladies,
an unidentified patient is being treated after being infected with a brain
eating amoeba last week. As I learnt, this is the fourth case this year. It was
reported that the individual contracted the infection “after swimming in
unsanitary water”.
The parasite is
almost always deadly, amongst the 138 known cases according to the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention, between 1962 and 2015 only three of those
patients survived.
