Considering the the high mortality rate of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, unusually non-suggestive symptomology of the early-stage disease, and necessity of microbial culture of the cerebrospinal fluid to effect a positive diagnosis, it has been suggested that physicians should give an array of antimicrobial drugs, including the drugs used to treat amoebic encephalitis, before the disease is actually confirmed in order to increase the number of survivors. However, administering several of those drugs at once (or even some of them known to treat the condition) is often very dangerous and unpleasant for the patient.
