This is the second case on the island in the last 12 years. A woman becomes the victim of a single-celled organism.

For the first time in 12 years, doctors in Taiwan recorded the death of a person from meningoencephalitis caused by the amoeba Naegleria fowleri (Naegleria fowleri). This was announced on August 9 by the Taiwan Center for Disease Control.

A 30-year-old woman was found to be the victim of a unicellular organism. According to the center, on June 26, he went to the doctors with headache, fever, convulsions and other symptoms.

His condition rapidly worsened, and in early August the patient died.

A month before symptoms began, the woman visited a water park in Xinbei City. Epidemiologists have taken water samples from the institution, but the results of the study are not yet known. The entertainment center is closed. There is disinfection.

Negleria fowlera lives in freshwater hot springs, rivers and lakes with water temperatures up to 46 degrees Celsius. When water enters the nose, it penetrates the human brain and begins to eat away at its cells. The first symptoms of malaise appear after a week.

The first and until recently the only human death from the amoeba Negleria Fowler in Taiwan was recorded in 2011. Then his victim was a 75-year-old man who became infected after visiting a hot spring.

For the first time, scientists recorded the death of a person as a result of this infectious disease in 1965 in Australia.

It will be remembered that last summer a case of bubonic plague infection was discovered in China.
