“…In the CC group, the predominance of nonelderly patients (79.7%) is compatible with the literature that describes patients within the age range of 21–40 years as the most affected by cysticercosis [ 2 , 23 , 24 ]. With regard to patients with neoplasia, the mean age reported in the literature is <60 years [ 25 ] which was confirmed in the present study.…”

“…Em necrópsias, a NCC foi considerada diagnóstico secundário em 26% dos casos 9 . Cisticercose em outros órgãos: o envolvimento, simultâneo ou não, de outros orgãos variou de 0,4-27% (Md= 13%), dependendo do estudo analisado 1,2,9 . O comprometimento cardíaco ocorreu em 8-26% (Md= 23%) dos casos.…”

“…The mean rate of 5.6% found for antibodies anti-T. solium metacestodes in sera from blood donors of the four cities of Triângulo Mineiro area indicate the probable endemic character of cysticercosis in the region, since the Pan-American Health Organization 16 sets the index of 0.1% as endemic for human cysticercosis. Necropsy data of subjects from this region demonstrated the mentioned endemic index 8,11,13 . AGAPEJEV 2 stated that the lethality caused by neurocysticercosis (NC) was 2.2%.…”
