Granulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis Caused by <i>Acanthamoeba</i> Amoebae of Genotype T2 in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Negative Patient

Abstract

Acanthamoeba amoebae of genotype T2 were identified as the causative agent of Acanthamoeba skin lesions and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) in a human immunodeficiency virus-negative patient with underlying tuberculosis. To our knowledge this, is the first case of GAE involving genotype T2.
