我们描述了一名年轻人脑干炎症的病例，该病例最初无法诊断。然而，在他去世后，尽管我们无法通过尸检找到死因，但我们并没有放弃。将石蜡块送到美国佐治亚州亚特兰大疾病控制中心后，他们建议诊断为巴拉穆西亚（阿米巴）感染。
We describe a case of brainstem inflammation in a young man which at first defied diagnosis. However, after his death, and notwithstanding our inability to find a cause at autopsy, we did not give up. After sending paraffin blocks to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, they suggested the diagnosis of Balamuthia (amoebic) infection.
