During a very hot summer, a teenager went swimming and picnicking at a very small, shallow lake. Later that evening, the teenager started to feel sick and complained of a headache and general malaise. The next morning, the teenager became very ill and was rushed to the emergency department. Many neurologic changes were noted. Despite the staff’s best efforts, the teenager died. An autopsy revealed the presence of small protozoans in her brain tissue. What is the most probable organism that caused her death?
