O fetiță de 8 ani a murit după ce s-ar fi infectat cu „amiba mâncătoare de creier”. Copila ar fi luat organismul dintr-un lac - WOWbiz.ro

An 8-year-old girl from Louisiana died after contracting Naegleria fowleri, a brain-eating amoeba, likely from a local lake. Her condition worsened rapidly after showing symptoms like fever and double vision. The infection caused severe brain inflammation, leading to her death shortly after her birthday. Naegleria fowleri thrives in warm freshwater and can enter the body through the nose, causing a rare but deadly form of brain infection. Although infections are uncommon, climate change may expand the amoeba's habitat.
