Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) was investigated due to the exposure of a large number of immunocompromised patients to opportunistic Acanthamoeba infections, which in most cases are fatal. METHODS: In this case-control study, 160 samples from the nasal mucosa of immunocompromised patients were collected between February 2019 to February 2020 in Isfahan, central Iran, using...
