Laboratory Diagnosis of Neurocysticercosis (Taenia solium) [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2018
Neurocysticercosis accounts for approximately 30% of all epilepsy cases in most developing countries. The immunodiagnosis of cysticercosis is complex and strongly influenced by the course of infection, the disease burden, the cyst location, and the immune response of the host.
