A child in Nebraska is suspected to have died due to an infection from a rare brain-eating amoeba while swimming in the state's Elkhorn River.
The amoeba, which is called Naegleria fowleri, can cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis, a brain infection that can happen when water containing the amoeba rushes up a person's nose and reaches their brain, according to Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services. The DHHS did not clarify the age or identity of the person who died, though local outlet KETV7 reported that it was a child.
“Millions of recreational water exposures occur each year, while only 0 to 8 Naegleria fowleri infections are identified each year," said Nebraska epidemiologist Matthew Donahue."Infections typically occur later in the summer, in warmer water with slower flow, in July, August, and September. Cases are more frequently identified in southern states but more recently have been identified farther north.
Symptoms caused by primary amebic meningoencephalitis include severe frontal headaches, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Only four people in the United States out of 154 have survived infection from 1962 through 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.A total of 19 states in the U.S. have reported cases of Naegleria fowleri from 1962 to 2021.
