  • Hello again doctors! In this video, I review the CNS amoebas for Step 1. Below you'll find some NCBI articles for further information on current research & case studies. Pay close attention to clinical presentation & remember the importance of taking a proper patient history. I wish you the very best of luck studying!

    Thank you verry much for the guide you make. It is easy to understand and it is well structured. A people with good hearts like you make the life of medical students much easier.

    Can N. Fowleri infection be contracted if the contaminated water enters only the very ends of the nostril? As in well below the olfactory mucosa

    Is the incubation period not up to 14 days? (rather than 7 days as stated at 11:55)

    • @slaystep1751
      @slaystep1751  5 лет назад

      Nope! It's as low as 2-3 days and as long as 7-10 but not 14 days. Patients have reported symptoms as little as 3 days after. Depends on the load (amount) the patient comes into contact with. Cheers!

      Idk about the other ones but N. fowleri can be swallowed and not cause infection problems start when it enters your nose

    Naegleria is more closely related to Euglena and trypanosomes than true ameboazoa

    • @slaystep1751
      @slaystep1751  4 года назад +1

      This channel is for perspective doctors & medical professionals, not for microbiologists. Every reputable source I used to study for Step 1 classifies Naegleria as stated in my video and that is what is necessary for Step 1. Thanks for the engagement, though!

      @@slaystep1751 no worries!
      I'm actually aiming for nonmedical mycology

    • @slaystep1751
      @slaystep1751  4 года назад

      Best of luck! Med students just need to understand as much as is needed to treat patients via the meds that are available & it's easier to study the microbes via categories if possible. Beyond that is up to someone's discretion, but the feedback is always appreciated :)

      Can you please make person speak louder in future?
