Previous cases of leptospirosis have occurred in hikers in the same area in 2004, 2007 and 2008 and a fatal infection due to the ?brain-eating amoeba? Naegleria fowleri was contracted in 1991 by a young man who had been swimming in a stream in the Inarajan district. http://www.spc.int/phs/PPHSN/Surveil...ne_reports.htm

Influenza B: 1 case
An 8 year-old boy has recently died of a brain infection caused by Naegleria fowleri, more commonly known as the ?brain eating amoeba?, after swimming in South Carolina?s Lake Marion. This parasite is present world-wide in warm stagnant waters and infection is almost invariably fatal. Cases are most frequently associated with swimming in streams or ponds although cases have also been associated with kiddy pools which have not been chlorinated or had their water changed for extended periods. One case has been recorded on Guam and hikers are advised to take care to not get water up their nose, the parasite?s usual mode of entry, while cooling off in local streams.
