“…Other bacterial etiologies should also be considered, since CSF glucose levels are typically low (212). Cerebral involvement may include chronic silent lesions, detectable with image examination as multiple conglomerated iso-intensity or low-signal-intensity round nodules, with peripheral rim enhancement (39,50,141,277). Skin tests, CFA, immunodiffusion, hemagglutination, and other techniques have been used for anti-Paragonimus antibody detection, with variable results (49).…”

“…Meningitis is secondary to parenchymal lesions, which progress chronically to granulomatous and fibrotic lesions (211,212). Eggs may be found in histological sections at the border of necrotic nodules (141).…”

“…In cases of extrapulmonary paragonimiasis, the central nervous system (CNS) is the most common locus of involvement [6, 7]. Cerebral paragonimiasis causes serious and often fatal neurological injury with sequelae of seizures, visual disorders, hemiplegia, and cerebral hemorrhage [7,8,9]. …”

“…Although chronic pulmonary disease is the most common result of Paragonimus infection, extrapulmonary infection does occur in brain, peritoneal and pelvic cavities, diaphragm, and subcutaneous tissues [4, 5]. In cases of extrapulmonary paragonimiasis, the central nervous system (CNS) is the most common locus of involvement [6, 7]. Cerebral paragonimiasis causes serious and often fatal neurological injury with sequelae of seizures, visual disorders, hemiplegia, and cerebral hemorrhage [7,8,9].…”
