Indirect immunofluorescent identification of Acanthamoeba causing meningoencephalitis.

The majority of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis cases in man have been caused by Naegleria, although three new cases have been identified due to Acanthamoeba. These cases showed a somewhat chronic course and death occurred 2 to 6 weeks after onset. The etiological agent in two cases was identified as belonging to the group of A. castellanii and the third case was identified as due to A. culbertsoni. The identification was performed post-mortem.

Immunoassays of Acanthamoeba castellanii plasma membranes. Preliminary results.

To facilitate future diagnosis of Acanthamoeba infections in man, studies have been initiated to elicit antibodies to purified membranes from Acanthamoeba species. Specifically in this communication, preliminary results are reported on A. castellanii. Immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent analyses suggest that the membrane antisera may allow specific identification at the species level and possibly strain identification.
