Abstract
Given the warm climate, excessive water-related recreational activities, and large Muslim population practicing ablution, it is surprising that primary amoebic meningoencephalitis is not reported in the United Arab Emirates. In a medical district, up to 43% of meningitis cases did not determine the causative organism, suggesting that cases likely go undiagnosed.
