Overview
Primary amebic meningoencephalitis must be differentiated from other causes of headache, fever, and confusion., such as bacterial/viral/fungal meningoencephalitis, other protozoal diseases, brain tumors, and vasculitides.
Differential Diagnosis
Primary amebic meningoencephalitis must be differentiated from other causes of headache, fever, and confusion. The following is a list of the differential diagnosis of primary amebic meningoencephalitis:
- Bacterial meningitis or encephalitis
- Viral meningitis or encephalitis
- Angiostrongylus spp. infection
- Baylisascaris spp. infection
- Brain abscess
- Brain tumors
- Cat scratch disease
- Coccidioidomycosis
- Cryptococcosis
- Cysticercus spp. infection
- Echinococcosis
- Gnathostomiasis
- Histoplasmosis
- Intracranial or ventricular/periventricular hemorrhage
- Malaria
- Mucormycosis
- Neurocysticercosis
- Rabies
- Sappinia spp. infection
- Toxoplasmosis
- Tuberculosis
- Vasculitis and mixed connective tissue disease
