In<unk><unk> s, the diagnosis can be made by microscopic examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).  A wet mount may detect motile trophozoites, and a Giemsa-stained smear will show trophozoites with typical morphology. Confocal microscopy or cultivation of the causal organism, and its identification by direct immunofluorescent antibody, may also prove useful.  An increasing number of PCR-based techniques (conventional and real-time PCR) have been described for detection and identification of free-living amoebic<unk> s in the clinical samples.  Such techniques may be available in selected reference diagnostic<unk> es.
