Abstract

Neurocysticercosis, due to the localization of Taenia solium larvae in the Central Nervous System, is a neglected tropical disease still endemic in much of Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The therapeutic management of NC has gradually improved with the establishment of neuroimaging studies (CT and MRI) in endemic countries and with the demonstration of the efficacy of albendazole and praziquantel in the 1980s. But the morbidity and mortality of this preventable disease remain an unacceptable fact. In this scoping review, we will revise the different treatment options and their indications.

神经囊虫病:治疗方案、适应症和疗效综述。
由于猪带绦虫幼虫局限于中枢神经系统,神经囊虫病是一种被忽视的热带病,在拉丁美洲、亚洲和撒哈拉以南非洲的大部分地区仍然流行。随着神经影像学研究(CT和MRI)在流行国家的建立,以及20世纪80年代阿苯达唑和吡喹酮的疗效得到证实,NC的治疗管理逐渐得到改善。但是,这种可预防疾病的发病率和死亡率仍然是一个不可接受的事实。在这篇范围综述中,我们将修订不同的治疗方案及其适应症。
