Historical Perspective
Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis was first documented in Australia in 1965.[1][2] In 1966, four cases were reported in the USA. By 1968 the causative organism, previously thought to be a species of Acanthamoeba or Hartmanella, was identified as Naegleria. This same year, occurrence of 16 cases over period of two years (1963–1965) was reported in Ústí nad Labem.[3] In 1970, the species of amoeba was named N. fowleri.[4]
