Background:

  • Infections caused by free-living amebae are uncommon and primarily affect immunocompromised patients.
  • Granulomatous amebic encephalitis (GAE) is a rare and severe central nervous system infection, with only about 70 reported cases.
  • Typical GAE cases involve individuals with chronic illnesses and suppressed immune systems.
