Intro
free linving amoeba:-
Inhabit ,,,,,,,and,,,,,,,,,
No ,,,,,,, no ,,,,,,,no,,,,,,,,,
NO human to human transmission
No relation with saniatation
Soil and water
no definitive host no Resvoir no Vector
Mention morphology of Neglaria Fowleri ?
2 Stages Trophozoites+cyst
3 froms :
Ameboid trophozite
Flagellate Trophozite
Cyst
Invective stage of Neglarai fowelri ? >
Ameboid tropohzoites
Invective stage of Neglarai fowelri ? >
Ameboid tropohzoites
Diagnostic Stage of Neglaria fwoelir?
Ameboid trophozoites
dividing form
only form found in tissue and CSF
Mention size and shape of Ameboid trophozite of NF
Size 7-20 micro
Shape :
broad end with peusdopodium called lopopodia
Narrow end
Describe nucleous and Cytoplasm of Ambeoid cyst of Neglaria fowlair ?
Nucelus : large central vesicular with Central Karyosome + no peripheral chromatin
Cytoplasm : Clear ectoplasm
+ Granular endoplasm with contractile vacuoles
What is PAM what is causing it?
Primary Ambeoic meningocencephalitis
By Neglaria Fowaleri !
Flagellated trophozoites is
,,,,,,,and…..and………
formed when amobeis stage is exposed to change in ,,,,,?
It changes to ameboid form when there is unfavrable conditions in water before ,,,,?
Temporary , non dividing , nonfeeding

Encysation
Describe shape and nuscleus of Flagellate trophozoites
It pear like with 2 flagellats
Nulceus :
large vesicular with central karyosome and no peripheral chrmoatins
Resistant stage of Neglaria Fowlei?
Cyst stage
7-15 micro in size
Why cyst cannot be seen in sepicemins ?
and describe its shape + Nucelus
Because the course of the disease is Rapid and fatal even before trophozite encyst
shape : spherical with dobule wall with pore
Nucelus with single Nuceloulus
Habitiat of N,fowleri ?
Soil and infected water
Human brain
Mode of transmisson of PAM ?
Primary amboeic menigionencephalitis
1-Swimming and diving in infected water containing Amboeid trophozoites of N.fowleri
through nose to cribriform plate and olfactory nerve to brain cause acute suppuraive inflammation.
2-Inhalation of aerosols containing the Trophozites
