“…Following these first ·reported isolations of potentially pathogenic free-living amoebae from monkey kidney tissue cultures (Jahnes et al 1957;Culbertson et al 1958Culbertson et al , 1959 and association of Naegleria with fatal human encephalitis, free-living amoebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba were recognized and confirmed as the etiological agents of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAME) (Carter 1968(Carter , 1969Bhagwandeen et al 1972;Willaert and Stevens 1976a), chronic meningoencephalitis (Kenny 1971, Jager and Stamm 1972, and Robert and Rorke 1973, pneumonitis (Martinez et al 1975), intestinal disorders (Jadin et al 1973), and serious eye infections (Nagington et al 1974;Warhurst et al 1976).

Il primo caso di infezione umana attribuito a Balamuthia risale invece al 1993.…”
