Acanthamoeba encephalitis: isolation of genotype T1 in mycobacterial liquid culture medium.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of Acanthamoeba encephalitis diagnosed from an antemortem brain biopsy specimen, where the organism was first isolated in mycobacterial liquid medium and first identified by using a sequence generated by a commercial panfungal sequencing assay. We correlate susceptibility results with clinical outcome.
