GAE can present with paralysis focal paralysis , seizures , brainstem symptoms, and other neurological problems, some of which may mimic glioma especially brainstem glioma , or other brain diseases, which may hamper timely diagnosis. These symptoms are caused by inflammatory necrosis of brain tissue brought on by amoebic infiltrates. Appearance on Biopsy A brain biopsy will reveal the presence of infection by pathogenic amoebas. In GAE, these present as general inflammation and sparse granules . On microscopic examination, infiltrates of amoebic cysts and or trophozoites will be visible. Treatment GAE, in general, must be treated by killing the pathogenic amoebas which cause it.

A neurotropic virus is a virus which is capable of infecting nerve cells ref http www.wordreference.com definition neurotropic Word Reference Neurotropic Bot generated title ref , or which does so preferentially. Such viruses thereby largely evade the usual immune response &mdash which acts only within the blood system . Terminology A disease agent is said to be neuroinvasive if it is capable of entering or infecting the central nervous system , and neurovirulent if it is capable of causing disease within the nervous system. The most common neuroinvasive viruses are rabies , which has both high neuroinvasiveness and high neurovirulence, and herpes simplex virus , which has low neuroinvasiveness and high neurovirulence. Others, like poliovirus , can spread neurally, but primarily spread by via the blood system in what is called Viremia hematogenous dissemination . Examples Neurotropic viruses that cause acute infection include Japanese encephalitis Japanese Encephalitis , Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis , and California encephalitis virus California encephalitis viruses polio, Coxsackie A virus coxsackie , Echovirus echo , mumps , measles , influenza , and rabies as well as diseases caused by members of the family Herpesviridae such as herpes simplex virus herpes simplex , varicella zoster , cytomegalo and Epstein Barr viruses ref http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov pubmed 9103870 Neurotropic viruses classification, structure and characteristics , Hotta H. abstract via PubMed ref . Those causing latent infection include herpes simplex and varicella zoster viruses. Those causing slow virus infection include measles, rubella and JC virus JC viruses, and retrovirus es such as human T lymphotropic virus 1 and human immunodeficiency virus .
