Neurocisticercose: incidência, diagnóstico e formas clínicas

Abstract: A cisticercose do sistema nervoso é tributo pago ao subdesenvolvimento. A enumeração das cifras de incidência deixa bem claro que, quase ignorada nos países altamente civilizados (Suécia 17 , Estados Unidos da América do Norte™. 47 , Canadá 31-46), flagela os povos menos evoluídos da Ásia, África e América. Na Europa, a neurocisticercose predomina nos países eslavos, particularmente URSS 33 > 48 e Polónia 30. 41. Na Inglaterra tem sido assinalada quase exclusivamente em soldados que retornam do ultramar, espec… Show more

“…Although it may remain asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic for long periods, NC is usually marked by relapses, in which clinical signs vary in intensity 1,2 . Diagnosis of NC is based on: clinical signs, neuroimaging (CT and MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 3,4 .…”

“…CSF helps establish the etiological diagnosis (anti-Taenia antibodies immunoproduction) and determine whether the process is active (presence of the syndrome and immunoproduction of non-specific IgGs) [7][8][9] . Regardeless clinical forms and neuroimaging findings, whether active or not, inflammatory changes proper to the CSF syndrome of NC can be detected and are diagnostic parameters 1,3,[10][11][12][13][14][15] . The objective of this study is to analyze prospectively the behavior of the diagnostic parameters and of the indicators of local inflammatory activity in NC patients, through comparative examination of the CSF and blood serum.…”

Tretiakoff & Pacheco e Silva, working in Juquery Hospital (São Paulo), a great psychiatric hospital in 1924, found in 250 necropsies, 9 brain cysticercosis cases 6 .

“…Cysts may have diverse localization in the human body and their frequency in tissues and organs may vary. Brazilian [1][2][3][4][5][6] and American 7 studies in general report the encephalic localization as the predominant one. Some European statistics from the beginning of the century [8][9][10][11][12] , when cysticercosis was epidemiologically frequent in that continent showed a predominance of the ocular form (Table 1).…”

“…Ocorre endemicamente em diversos países da Ásia, África e América Latina, destacando-se México e Brasil (região CentroSul). A prevalência da NCC em áreas endêmicas varia entre 0,1 e 3,6% [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Oriunda do meio rural, tem sido observada com frequência crescente também em zonas urbanas.…”
