The DNA amplicons of amebas identified by polymerase chain reaction in the cerebrospinal fluid specimen and the ditch water specimens were identical and shared strong homology with A. castellanii. He survived after treatment with amphotericin B, rifampin, and corticosteroids. Copyright ? 2009 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. |
