Geographic Range of Recreational Water-Associated Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis, United States, 1978-2018.


ABSTRACT: Naegleria fowleri is a free-living ameba that causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare but usually fatal disease. We analyzed trends in recreational water exposures associated with PAM cases reported during 1978-2018 in the United States. Although PAM incidence remained stable, the geographic range of exposure locations expanded northward.
