A nine-year-old boy is in critical condition, sedated and on a respirator, at Rambam Hospital after contracting a rare amoebic infection that causes brain inflammation. Health officials suspect the boy was infected after swimming at the Kinneret beach, specifically Kursi beach on the Sea of Galilee, about a week before his hospitalization.
This is a rare and highly fatal disease. Israel has reported three previous cases in recent years. Further details are expected shortly.
