Circulating Antigen Levels Follow Post-Treatment Evolution of Subarachnoid Neurocysticercosis
Subarachnoid neurocysticercosis carries poor prognosis and high mortality. Besides neuroimaging, there are no available monitoring tools. We examined antigen levels in sequential serum samples of a patient who required four courses of antiparasitic treatment. Antigen levels decreased in parallel to parasite resolution. Antigen detection may contribute to monitoring treatment of subarachnoid neurocysticercosis.
