Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis
Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) is a rare, nearly invariably fatal, subacute-to-chronic central nervous system (CNS) disease caused by certain species of free-living amoebae of the genera Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia and Sappinia. The term is most commonly used with Acanthamoeba. In more modern references, the term "balamuthia amoebic encephalitis" (BAE) is commonly used when Balamuthia mandrillaris is the cause. Similarly, Sappinia amoebic encephalitis (SAE) is the name for amoebic encephalitis caused by species of Sappinia.
