Ngaleria is actually the name of a living thing. Naegleria fowleri is a type of unicellular organism discovered in Australia in 1965 belonging to the phylum Percolozoa of the kingdom protista. This single-celled organism causes a brain infection called Naegleriasis, also known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).
There are many types of Negleria, but only Naegleria fowleri causes Naegleriasis. This parasitic unicellular organism is about 8 to 15 micrometers in size. Ngaleria is often found in warm water, it can also live in warm water up to about 45 degrees Celsius. It is found in tropical areas all over the world.

  • How does Ngaleria enter the body?

It is also called the "brain eater". In fact, its common food is bacteria, but when it enters the human body, it uses the human brain as food. It often enters the human body through the nose to reach the brain, such as pouring water from the nose into the nose during ablution, or taking a bath with such water, or entering such a swimming pool, etc. May cause body aches.

  • How does Ngaleria go from the nose to the brain?

Our nervous system is made up of neurons, which are spread throughout the body. These neurons use special chemicals called neurotransmitters to communicate with each other. The germs of Ngleria are attracted to chemicals and reach the brain through the olfactory nerves that run from the nose to the brain. These olfactory nerves carry the signal of a particular smell from the nose to the brain.

  • What does the germ of Ngaleria do in the brain?

The bacterium Ngleria enters the brain and secretes various enzymes, which break down brain cells, causing the brain cells to die, resulting in the activation of the immune system, and the brain. There is inflammation in the K, which causes headaches. At the same time, the germs continue to increase their numbers and cause damage to the depths of the brain, causing the patient to experience delusions, delusions and insanity. In this way, the germs damage the brain tissue to such an extent that death occurs.

  • What are the symptoms of this disease?

Symptoms of Ngaleria begin within one to nine days (average 5 days) of germ entry. In its initial sign
These include headache, fever, vomiting, and nausea.
The next symptoms include neck pain and stiff neck, strange hallucinations, confusion, seizures, etc.

  • Symptoms and how long does it take to die?

The patient usually dies within 12 days of the first symptom (average 5 days).

What is the mortality rate?

It is estimated that the mortality rate among people infected with the virus is 97% (much higher than that of the corona).

  • Is there a cure?

There is no effective treatment for this disease yet. There are some medicines that work in the laboratory (in a test tube) but do not work in the patient's body.

  • When is the disease more common?

The disease is most common in the summer season (July to September)

  • Can drinking water also cause this disease?

No, drinking water does not allow germs to reach the brain.

Does the disease spread from person to person?

No, under normal circumstances these germs are not transmitted from one person to another.

  • How to prevent this disease?

The easiest way to prevent this disease is to avoid nasal congestion. Boiled water should be used for ablution etc. Boil water for at least 5 minutes and then use.

  • Where have the cases of this disease occurred in Pakistan?

Yes, cases of this disease have been reported in Karachi and have been happening for many years (since 2008).

Be safe, be happy
