The Ministry of Health has reported a rare and deadly disease that has infected a previously healthy 25-year-old man who is now fighting for his life in intensive care. He has been diagnosed with amoebic meningoencephalitis after being infected with the parasite Naegleria fowleri. This disease is extremely rare, with only about 400 cases worldwide and a high risk of death.
Experts are currently investigating the source of the infection, but it is believed that the man likely contracted it while swimming in Lake Kinneret at Gai Beach. The Ministry’s investigation revealed that the man had recently visited the beach and went swimming in the lake.
Naegleria fowleri is a single-celled organism found in freshwater bodies at certain temperatures, and infection can lead to a fatal condition affecting the nervous system. The parasite enters the body through the nasal passages, olfactory epithelium, and olfactory nerve, eventually reaching the brain. Another possible route of infection is through inhalation of contaminated aerosols.
The Ministry of Health is taking steps to prevent further cases and raise awareness about the risks associated with this rare disease. They are urging people to avoid swimming or wading in freshwater bodies at high temperatures and to take precautions when handling water samples or other contaminated materials.
