Nine-Year-Old Kerala Girl Succumbs to Rare Brain-Eating Amoeba Infection
Kozhikode: Health authorities in north Kerala have confirmed that the death of a nine-year-old girl at the Kozhikode Medical College was due to amoebic encephalitis, a rare brain infection caused by free-living amoeba found in contaminated water sources.
Officials said the child, a resident of Thamarassery, was first taken to a local hospital with fever on August 13. As her health deteriorated rapidly, she was shifted to the medical college the following day, where she passed away on August 14.
Laboratory tests conducted in the microbiology department of the medical college on Friday night confirmed the presence of the infection. Authorities are now trying to trace the specific pond or lake where the girl may have contracted the pathogen.
“Once the source is identified, we will track down others who might have used the same water body recently,” a senior official said.
This is believed to be the fourth case of amoebic encephalitis detected in the district this year. The infection, often fatal, is contracted from freshwater sources such as rivers, ponds, and streams.
