Abstract: A clinic-epidemiological enquiry was conducted on in an endemic area for teniasis-cysticercosis. From the whole population 1080 (32.2%) individuals were examined. We found 198 (18.3%) individuals referring teniasis-bearing in the past, and 103 (9.5%) affirming to have had convulsions, either in the past or present. From the last group, 39 (37.8%) indicated that the crisis had begun in adulthood. From the group of patients presenting convulsions, 62 (62%) had laboratory tests performed.

“…Serological diagnosis of CC/NCC with EITB was performed in 16 studies, and the proportion ranged among 0% [38] and 39.5% [30]. Thirteen studies associated to neuroimaging or EITB other ascertainment methods for the diagnosis of CC/NCC, such as serum AbELISA, serum AgELISA, CSF AbELISA, serum ELISA/serum immunofluorescence assay, or CT/CSF test/surgery [39], with proportions ranging from 0% [38] to 41.9% [40].…”

“…Além da necessidade de se articularem critérios epidemiológicos, clínicos, sorológi-cos, radiológicos e histológicos para o estabelecimento do diagnóstico 2 , ressalta-se a inexistência de estudos sistematizados e comparáveis para o estabelecimento de sua distribuição nas diferentes regiões do país 3 . Da mesma forma, em outros países endêmicos, não se dispõem de estimativas precisas da freqüência da cisticercose humana 4 .…”

“…CLEMENTE & WERNNECK (1990) calculam que a incidência de neurocisticercose no Rio de Janeiro é de cerca de um caso por mês. Em Lagamar, Minas Gerais, SILVA-VERGARA et al (1994) encontraram uma prevalência provável de 1,9%. No município de Ribeirão Preto, Estado de São Paulo, TAKAYANAGUI et al (1996) obtiveram um coeficiente de prevalência de 54 casos/100.000 habitantes através de notificação compulsória, e CHIMELLI et al (1998) obtiveram uma prevalência de 67 casos/100.000 habitantes através de necropsias.…”

“…A teníase é um fator importante para o aparecimento da cisticercose humana, havendo interrelação estreita entre teníase e cisticercose (ALARCON EGAS et al, 1988;GARCÍA-ALBEA, 1989;SARTI-GUTIERREZ et al, 1988;SCHENONE et al, 1982;SILVA-VERGARA et al, 1994). O homem adquire cisticercose através da ingestão de alimentos contaminados (frutas e verduras) com ovos de tênia, através do uso de água de irrigação contaminada com água de esgoto, ou ainda pela utilização de fezes humanas como adubo.…”
