LAKE OF THE OZARKS - The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) has confirmed that an adult Missouri resident with a laboratory-confirmed infection of Naegleria fowleri died last Tuesday August 19 in a St. Louis area hospital.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of the patient,” a DHSS spokesman said.
Naegleria fowleri is a microscopic single-celled free-living ameba that can cause a rare deadly infection of the brain called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), also known as “brain-eating” infection.
Typically, fewer than 10 people a year in the United States get PAM. According to the CDC, nearly everyone who gets PAM dies from it.
While not confirmed, preliminary information implies the patient may have been water skiing at the Lake of the Ozarks days prior to becoming ill.
