Rare Disease Threatens Man’s Life in Intensive Care After Infection with Naegleria fowleri from Swimming in Lake Kinneret

A rare disease has been reported by the Ministry of Health in a previously healthy 25-year-old man who is now fighting for his life in intensive care. He was diagnosed with amoebic meningoencephalitis after being infected with the parasite Naegleria fowleri. This disease is extremely rare, with only about 400 cases worldwide and a high risk of death.

The man likely contracted the infection while swimming in Lake Kinneret at Gai Beach. Experts have visited the site to collect water samples and further study the case. Naegleria fowleri is a single-celled organism found in freshwater bodies at certain temperatures, and infection can lead to a fatal condition affecting the nervous system.

The parasite enters the body through the nasal passages, olfactory epithelium, and olfactory nerve, eventually reaching the brain. Another possible route of infection is through inhalation of contaminated aerosols. The Ministry of Health is taking steps to prevent further cases and raise awareness about the risks associated with this rare disease.
