 hr Infekcije Uzrokovane Slobodnoživućim Amebama - Etiologija, Kliničke Osobitosti, Dijagnostika, Terapija I Prevencija
Sviben, Mario; Horvat-Krejči, Dubravka & Missoni, Emilija Mlinarić


Slobodnoživuće amebe iz rodova Naegleria, Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia i Sappinia, široj su medicinskoj struci nepoznate, ili slabo poznate. Te amebe mogu biti uzročnici životno ugrožavajućih bolesti koje nepravodobno prepoznate i neodgovarajuće liječene, gotovo redovito završavaju ili s teškim posljedicama, ili smrću. U radu je u kratkim crtama prikazana morfologija i epidemiologija slobodnoživućih ameba, kliničke osobitosti, te mogućnosti dijagnostike, liječenja i prevencije infekcija uzrokovanih tim amebama.

Abstract

Free-living amoebas, members of the genera Naegleria, Acanthamoea, Balamuthia and Sappinia are generally unknown or little known in the medical profession. They can cause life-treathening diseases. If not recognized early enough or inapropriately treated they can cause death or serious consequences. In this paper we presented morphology, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, therapy and prevention of these infections.
