Oh that disease due to a kind of Amoeba (Naegleria) is very bad because it actually almost always leads to death (post to meningo-encephalitis). 97-99% mortality unlike coccidioidomycosis (which is a little hyped in the article).
They tried Amphotericin B in some case with limited success but the disease is always fatal :(

On the plus side, it's extremely rare. About three cases a year in the U.S. on average.
