Naegleria fowleri causes Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), which is primarily a disease afflicting children and young adults (83% of cases under the age of 18) with a median age of 12 years, infecting males over females at a ratio of 3:1. The majority of infections are in the 5-14 age groups. The youngest person infected was an 8-month old baby and the oldest was a 64-year old.
