Although India has recorded only 17 cases with seven survivors, the situation demands urgent attention. Global evidence shows that the etiological agent of PAM Naegleria fowleri-is present in all continents except Antarctica. Since 1965, 381 cases were documented, rising by 1.6 per cent annually. By 2023, Pakistan had reported over 140 cases, while the US, Australia and India also reported significant numbers, signalling its growing global footprint.
