| primary amoebic meningoencephalitis | An invasive, rapidly fatal cerebral infection by soil amoebae, chiefly Naegleria fowleri, found in man and other primates and experimentally in rodents; the disease is characterised by a high fever, neck rigidity, and symptoms associated with upper respiratory infection such as cough and nausea; although organisms have been cultured from various organs, the brain is the primary focus, especially the olfactory lobes and cerebral cortex, which are first attacked by the amoebae that enter from nasal mucosa through the cribriform plate; death usually occurs two to three days after onset of symptoms.

| acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis | A disease characterised by acute onset of fever, followed by convulsions, delirium, and coma, and associated with perivascular demyelination and haemorrhagic foci in the central nervous system. Synonym: acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, Strumpell's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |

| amoebic | Relating to, resembling, or caused by amoebas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amoebic abscess | <gastroenterology> An area of abscess formation (liquefaction necrosis) in the liver due to infection of the organ with amoebae. See: amoebiasis. (05 Feb 1998) |
| amoebic colitis | Inflammation of the colon in amoebiasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amoebic dysentery | <gastroenterology> Diarrhoea which results for ulcerative inflammation of the colon. This condition is caused by infection with Entamoeba histolytica, a similar appearance grossly to that of ulcerative colitis. See: amoebiasis. (05 Feb 1998) |
| amoebic granuloma | A nodular, tumour-like focus of proliferative inflammation sometimes developing in chronic amoebiasis, especially in the wall of the colon. Synonym: amoebic granuloma. Origin: amoeba + G. -oma, tumour (05 Mar 2000) |
| amoebic vaginitis | Vaginitis caused by Entamoeba histolytica. Atrophic vaginitis, thinning and atrophy of the vaginal epithelium usually resulting from diminished oestrogen stimulation; a common occurrence in postmenopausal women. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biundulant meningoencephalitis | tick-borne encephalitis (Central European subtype) |
| meningoencephalitis | Inflammation of both the brain and meninges. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic progressive syphilitic meningoencephalitis | Syphilitic infection manifested as dementia (often with delusional features), dysarthria, seizures, myoclonic jerks, action tremor, impaired walking and standing, pupillary abnormalities, and abnormal CSF findings. Synonym: chronic progressive syphilitic meningoencephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mumps meningoencephalitis | A usually benign nervous system infection arising during the active phase of clinical mumps parotiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpetic meningoencephalitis | A severe form of meningoencephalitis caused by herpesvirus type 1 and associated with a high mortality rate; definite diagnosis depends upon isolation of the virus or demonstration of viral antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic meningoencephalitis | A secondary or tertiary stage manifestation of syphilis; rarely fatal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thromboembolic meningoencephalitis | An acute septicaemic disease of cattle caused by the bacterium Haemophilus somnus and characterised by fever, severe depression, ataxia, blindness, coma, and rapid death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosinophilic meningoencephalitis | A disease caused by infection with the rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, whose larvae, ingested with infected slugs or land snails (or some unidentified transport host), migrate from intestine to the meninges of the brain where the disease is produced; it is usually mild, of short duration, and characterised by fever, eosinophilia, and white blood cells (rarely nematode larvae) in the spinal fluid.
