7-year-old dies from rare brain-eating amoeba tied to California lake https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brain-eating-amoeba-boy-dies-tehama-county/ A child infected with an extremely rare brain-eating amoeba while swimming in a Northern California lake died in a hospital, his family confirmed Friday. David Pruitt, 7, of Tehama County, died from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, or PAM, on August 7, said his aunt, Crystal Hayley.
主要是鼻腔感染 变形虫从鼻腔游走到脑子 结果往往是致命的 一般在温暖的自然淡水水域，或者没经氯处理的温暖泳池 The parasite, called Naegleria fowleri, usually infects people when contaminated water enters their body through the nose, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infection normally occurs when people go swimming or diving in warm freshwater places, like lakes and rivers. In rare instances, people can get infected if warm water from a swimming pool that has not been adequately treated with chlorine enters the nose, the CDC said on its page about the infection. "Once the ameba enters the nose, it travels to the brain where it causes PAM, which is usually fatal," it said.
这本来美国本土一年加起来顶多也就不超过10例 There have been 34 reported infections in the U.S. in the 10 years from 2010 to 2019, despite millions of recreational water exposures each year.
