Cysticercosis is a disease transmitted by the ingestion of the eggs of the worm Taenia solium. It is the most common parasitic disease in humans and its incidence is not increased in patients with AIDS. 1 In addition, cysticercosis is rapidly becoming the most important cause of acquired epilepsy throughout the world.

Therapy for neurocysticercosis
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2004Therapy for neurocysticercosis has advanced during the last 20 years with the advent of albendazole (Zentel) and praziquantel (Cysticide). Albendazole is the current medication of choice for the treatment of neurocysticercosis and is recommended for symptomatic patients with multiple viable cysts in the brain parenchyma.
