Naegleria fowleri amoeba infection. Light micrograph of a brain tissue specimen in a case of a Naegleria fowleri amoebic infection. The amoeba N. fowleri can cause meningoencephalitis, which is the inflammation of the brain and its membranes. Infection is by inhalation, often by children when swimming in fresh water. Headaches, vomiting, and sensory disturbances are followed by death unless aggressive drug therapy is used.
