- Cysticercosis abstract "Cysticercosis is a tissue infection by the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium). People may have little or no symptoms for years, develop approximately one to two centimeter painless solid bumps in the skin and muscles, or have neurological symptoms if the brain is affected. After months or years these bumps can become painful and swollen then resolve. When cysts form in the brain it is known as neurocysticercosis. In the developing world this is one of the most common cause of seizures.The disease is usually spread by eating foods that contains the tapeworm's eggs. The foods most commonly believed to be the cause are uncooked vegetables. The tapeworm eggs are from feces of a person infected with the adult worms. This infection is known as taeniasis and is when adult pork tapeworms live within the intestines. It is due to eating cysts in poorly cooked pork or beef. Both forms of infection can occur in the same person at the same time. The diagnosis can be made by aspiration of a cyst. Taking pictures of the brain with computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important for diagnosis disease in the brain. A certain type of white blood cell, called eosinophils, in the cerebral spinal fluid also increases the chance of there being neurocysticercosis.Preventing the infection involves: cooking pork well, proper toilets and improved access to clean water. Treating those with taeniasis is important to prevent spread. Treating disease that does not involve the nervous system may not be required. Treatment of those with neurocystercercosis may be with the medications praziquantel or albendazole. These may be required for long periods of time. Steroids may be needed to decrease inflammation during treatment. Anti-seizure medications may also be required. Surgery is sometimes done to remove the cysts. Seizures may occur in more than half of people who have cysts in their brain.The pork tapeworm is common in many parts of the developing world including Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. In some areas it is believed that up to 25% of people are affected. In the developed world it is very uncommon. Worldwide as of 2010 it caused about 1,200 death up from 700 in 1990. Cysticercosis also affects pigs and cows but rarely causes symptoms as most do not live long enough. The disease has been with us for much of human history.".
