Abstract
- We report two cases of fatal chronic meningoencephalitis caused by Balamuthia mandrillarisin immunocompetent men. Diagnosis of amoebic meningoencephalitis was made ante-mortem in one case and postmortem in another by histopathological examination and confirmed by demonstration of B. mandrillarisdeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
