Laboratory testing has ruled out an amoeba as the cause of death of a 14-year-old Alexandria boy who doctors originally thought died from contracting a rare brain debilitating condition while swimming in a lake. The boy, Hunter Boutain reportedly died from streptococcal meningoencephalitis. Though the symptons are very similar to the disease contract by the amoeba they are different infections. The boy did not get the infection from the lake as streptococcal is an inflammation of the lungs goes into the blood stream and caused inflammation in the lining of the brain which happened to Boutain.
