Distinguishing patients with idiopathic epilepsy from solitary cysticercus granuloma epilepsy and biochemical phenotype assessment using a serum biomolecule profiling platform
Abstract:A major source of epilepsy is Neurocysticercosis (NCC), caused by Taenia solium infection. Solitary cysticercus granuloma (SCG), a subgroup of NCC induced epilepsy, is the most common form of NCC in India. Current diagnostic criteria for SCG epilepsy require brain imaging which may not be available in communities where the disease is endemic. Identification of serum changes and potential biomolecules that could distinguish SCG epilepsy from idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IE), without the initial need for ima… Show more
