South Carolina confirms a rare case of a brain-eating amoeba found in warm freshwater.
South Carolina has confirmed a case of the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri, a rare but nearly always fatal infection.
Found in warm freshwater, the amoeba enters the brain through the nose, typically during water activities.
The risk of infection is very low, with fewer than 10 annual cases in the U.S., but only four survivors have been recorded since 1962.
The exact location and details of the case have not been disclosed.
