The 1968 New Zealand cases of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis--Myxomycete or Naegleria?
Abstract
The 1968 New Zealand cases of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis are reviewed with reference to the identification of the aetiological organisms. Evidence is presented to show that they were Naegleria gruberi.
