• Cysticercosis is a preventable parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused by the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium . (nih.gov)
• Cysticercosis is a tissue infection with the cysticercus, or larval, stage of Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) that results from ingestion of T solium eggs. (medscape.com)
• The clinical syndromes caused by T solium are categorized as either cysticercosis (cysts in various tissues including the brain) or taeniasis (intestinal tapeworm infection). (medscape.com)
• Thus, cysticercosis is a foodborne infection and can be acquired in the absence of pork consumption. (medscape.com)
• When people eat undercooked pork containing viable cysticerci, they develop an intestinal tapeworm infection, but not cysticercosis of the central nervous system. (who.int)
• These eggs then develop into cysticerci which migrate mostly into muscle (causing cysticercosis) and into the central nervous system where the cysticerci can cause seizures and many other neurological symptoms (cysticercosis of the central nervous system). (who.int)
• Both forms of human cysticercosis are therefore human-to-human infections acquired by the faeco-oral route in areas with poor hygiene and sanitation. (who.int)
• Such a route of transmission is strongly supported by the concentration of cases of cysticercosis of the central nervous system in communities with human carriers of Taenia , which clustering also supports the argument that carriers of Taenia are potent sources of contagion. (who.int)
• Cysticercosis of the central nervous system is the most important neurological disease of parasitic origin in humans. (who.int)
• A study in Southern India reported in 2000 found an association between cysticercosis of the central nervous system and localization-related symptomatic epilepsies in 51% of patients. (who.int)
• Conversely, a study in Honduras reported in 1999 showed that when a diagnosis of cysticercosis of the central nervous system had been made, seizures were the presenting symptom in 52% of cases. (who.int)
• The diagnosis of cysticercosis of the central nervous system involves the interpretation of non-specific clinical manifestations, such as seizures, often with characteristic findings on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and the use of specific serological tests. (who.int)
• In non-endemic industrialized countries imported cases have been found in, for example, carriers of intestinal-stage T. solium infection, who, through food-handling and other modes of contact, can be sources of locally-acquired cases, and persons with latent cysticercosis of the central nervous system.
