Sappinia amoebic encephalitis (SAE) is the name for amoebic encephalitis caused by species of Sappinia.[1]
The causative organism was originally identified as Sappinia diploidea,[2][3] but is now considered to be Sappinia pedata.[4] It has been treated with azithromycin, pentamidine, itraconazole, and flucytosine.[3]
