A new case of amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rare but often fatal brain infection, has been reported in Kerala, with a 17-year-old boy in Thiruvananthapuram confirmed to have contracted the infection.
Following the diagnosis, the health department closed the swimming pool at Akkulam Tourist Village and collected water samples for testing. Authorities noted that the boy had visited the pool with friends the previous day and had taken a bath there.
