The Indian authorities issued a high report on Thursday, after reporting an increase in cases and deaths of Naegleria Fowleri, a rare water -based infection in Kerala this year.
Songs are still small, but Altaf Ali, a doctor who is part of a government task force to arrest the spread, said AFP That officials “did tests on a large scale in the state to detect and treat things”.
This year, civil servants reported 19 dead and 72 infections of the Naegleria Fowleri Amoeba, including nine dead and 24 cases in September alone.
Last year the Amoeba killed nine people from the 36 reported cases.
The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that it is often called a “brain -eating Amoeba” because it “can infect the brain and destroy brain tissue”.
When the Amoeba reaches the brain, this can cause an infection that kills more than 95 percent of the affectors.
Infections are “very rare but almost always fatal”, the CDC notes.
The Amoeba lives in warm lakes and rivers and is contracted by polluted water that enters the nose. It does not spread from person to person.
The World Health Organization says that symptoms are headache, fever and vomiting, which quickly continue to “epileptic seizures, changed mental status, hallucinations and coma”.
“It is disturbing that new things were created from the entire state this year, unlike specific bags in the past,” said Ali.
Almost 500 cases have been reported worldwide since 1962, mainly in the United States, India, Pakistan and Australia.
