>> THAT STORY THANK
YOU LENA. THIS MORNING, A
WARNING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE
NOT MISSED FROM THE PARENTS OF
A PUTNAM COUNTY BOY WHO DIED
FROM A BRAIN EATING AMOEBA
TANNER WALL WAS JUST 13 YEARS
OLD HE DIED
LAST MONTH AFTER HIS PARENTS
SAY THAT HE CAUGHT THE PARASITE
WHILE SWIMMING IN A FLORIDA
LAKE DOCTOR MOBEEN RATHORE IS A
PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASE
DOCTOR JOINING US VIA ZOOM THIS
MORNING TO EXPLAIN THE RISKS OF
THIS KIND OF PARASITE TO OUR
CHILDREN AND OTHERS FOR THAT
MATTER. DOCTOR THANKS FOR
JOINING US ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE
YOU ON THE SHOW.
>> THANK YOU FOR HANGING, SO
DOCTOR RATHER CAN YOU EXPLAIN
HOW TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPEN.
>> WELL, IT’S REALLY DISEASES
YOU GO AND THIS HAPPENED IN THE
SUMMERTIME GATES
FARM, THIS IS ONE OF THE
INFECTION THAT OCCURS BY
SCREAMING AND ACTUALLY I AGREE.
>> ONE WORE BODY. YOU
WANT MORE. >> AND I WAS ALWAYS IN THE NEWS THERE IT IS IN THE BOTTOM O B.
♪
♪
♪ ♪ WHAT DO YOU WANT A WAR.
YOU KNOW ONCE YOU
DIVING IN WHAT WOULD GO THROUGH
YOUR NOSE AND THEN YOU’VE GOT
THIS IS THEY WILL PLAY A LITTLE
BIT IN THE BRAND AND ALL THAT
GOES THROUGH THAT AND ALSO
THE FICTION AND THE RANGERS
HAVE ANY I’M FORCED TO HAVE A
SERIOUS ILLNESS THAT HAS A
REALLY HIGH. EVERY.
>> SO IT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE
I MEAN AS YOU KNOW WE ARE SURROUNDED BY LAKES AND PONDS AND IT GETS HOT AND KIDS LIKE
TO SWIM. YOU KNOW, I KNOW
TANNERS AT FAMILY SAYS THAT HE
GREW UP SWIMMING IN PONDS AND
LAKES AS DID HIS OWN FATHER.
SO IS THIS PARASITE BASICALLY
ON THE TOP OF THE WATER, IT’S
HIDING IN ALGAE. I MEAN IS
THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD
SAY TO PEOPLE
WHO FREQUENT LAKES AND PONDS
THAT IS THERE A CERTAIN AREA
THAT THEY SHOULD AVOID.
>> WELL I THINK IN THE SENATE
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUR.
>> THE WAR.
>> AND THEN A FEW THINGS YOU
CAN DO OUT THERE IS NO
GUARANTEE OF ACTION DUE TO
SAFETY. BUT YOU CAN USE A ONE
DOLLAR IT’S OFTEN
MOSTLY IT.
>> AND IF YOU GO THROUGH IT
WHEN YOU’RE DIVING THAT PROGRAM
WERE FROM GOING AND DOING ALL
OF THE OTHER THING YOU DO IS
TRY TO DESTROY THE BAR AWFULLY.
>> BECAUSE YOU KNOW KIDS AND
THEY WANT IT, YEAH EVERYBODY
THEY FIND YOU ARE YOU KNOW, SO
I THINK ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN
KNOW WHY MOST IN EVERY EDITION IS NOT A VERY COMMON CONDITION. AND FORTUNATELY WE NOW HAVE
TREATMENT AFFORDED THAT SEEMS
TO
WORK BETTER. I TRY TO HANG THIS
TREATMENT THAT ONLY 5 OR 6
SURVIVORS IN THE UNITED
THIS INFECTION. FLORIDA I SAW
OR THE COUNTRY WHERE THIS
INFECTION SEEMS TO BE
MORE CALM AND UNFORTUNATELY THE
ARMY ON THIS VERY DIFFICULT TO
DIAGNOSE ACTUALLY LOOKS
LIKE A U.S. OR ORDER ON
PATIENTS WITH THE
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE
DIAGNOSIS EARLY ON, BUT ONCE
YOU SUSPECT IT
EVEN BEFORE YOU DIE FROM THE
DIAGNOSIS, WHAT SHE SUSPECTED.
THERE IS TREATMENT FOR THAT YOU
CAN GET THIS TRUCK. WE JUST
GROW A BIT BEFORE
SEE IT. IT’S ANYBODY RIGHT NOW
THE BEST YOU CAN GET FROM THE
CDC. SO HAVING
THAT PROBLEM.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: THIS IS A
GREAT BENEFIT NOW SO IT’S
INTERESTING THAT YOU BRING THAT
UP DOCTOR BECAUSE AS WE KNOW
JUST FROM FROM TENDERS PARENTS.
THEY INITIALLY TOOK HIM WHEN HE
WAS NOT FEELING WELL TO THE
HOSPITAL. HE WAS TOLD THAT HE
HAD
STREP THROAT THEY JUST DIDN’T
BELIEVE IT GIVEN HOW SICK HE
WAS AND THEY ACTUALLY TOOK HIM
OUT OF THAT HOSPITAL TOOK HIM
TO A
DIFFERENT HOSPITAL AND THAT’S
WHERE THEY RECEIVE THIS
DEVASTATING DIAGNOSIS. LET’S
FIRST CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE
SYMPTOMS ARE BECAUSE IF THERE
IS A TREATMENT AND EARLIER THE
BETTER, THEN WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR VIEWERS ARE AWARE
OF THEM.
OF THEM. >> AS I SAID THE SYMPTOMS COULD LOOK LIKE ANY OF THOSE SYMPTOMS
OR NOT FEELING WELL, MAYBE
A FEVER. HE IS NOT I DON’T KNOW
SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS THAT YOU
WOULD HAVE I WANTED TO DO WAS
THIS DIAGNOSIS. THE IMPORTANT
THING IS THE HISTORY. THE FACT
THAT HE WAS TRULY A DELAY
DIVING IN THE LEG.
UPON AND YOU KNOW IF YOU GET
WHAT IS SHE WAS GOING TO THE
BOTTOM OF IT I THINK THAT’S
WHAT COUNTS THAT’S THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE WITH THIS DISEASE.
UNFORTUNATELY THAT EARLY ON YOU
CANNOT DIFFERENTIATE IT OFF.
SO MANY OF THE FACTIONS.
YOU KNOW SOONER DOES HAPPEN
TO CHILDREN A LITTLE BIT LATER
ALWAYS BECOMES EASIER TO
DIAGNOSE WHAT’S THAT’S WHY IT’S
IMPORTANT.
HAVE THE ISSUES OF THE
SUSPECTED YOU CAN START OF
TREATMENT EARLY IT’S THE
ONLY TREATMENT.
>> THAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS
INFECTION. SUCH AN IMPORTANT
REMINDER GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT
SPREADS PREVALENT BETWEEN JULY
AND SEPTEMBER DOCTOR
MOBEEN RATHORE THANK YOU LOCAL
PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASE
DOCTOR FOR YOUR TIME TO
APPRECIATE IT. AND WE WANT TO
POINT OUT THAT TANNER WALL WAS
WAS PERFECTLY HEALTHY ACCORDING
TO HIS FAMILY’S MILL NAME IS
LAKE. HE LOVED TO SWIM IN THE
WATER AND THAT HE WAS SWIMMING
WITH A GROUP OF 50 OTHER
CAMPERS. HE IS THE ONLY ONE
THAT CONTRACTED THIS PARASITE
NOW WE SHOULD NOTE THAT WE ARE
