Special Issue ArticleNeurocysticercosis in sub-Saharan Africa: a review of prevalence, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and managementAndrea Sylvia WinklerTechnical University of Munich Munich, Bavaria, Germany Neurocysticercosis has been recognized as a major cause of secondary epilepsy worldwide. So far, most of the knowledge about the disease comes from Latin America and the Indian subcontinent. Unfortunately, in sub-Saharan Africa the condition was neglected for a long time, mainly owing to the lack of appropriate diagnostic tools. This review therefore focuses on the prevalence of neurocysticercosis in sub-Saharan Africa, the clinical picture with emphasis on epilepsy, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of neurocysticercosis and its related epilepsy/epileptic seizures in African resource-poor settings.Keywords: Cysticercosis, Epilepsy, Sub-Saharan AfricaNeurocysticercosis (NCC) represents t.Ng of the genetic interactions generated in certain E-MAP studies.Materials and MethodsAll methods have been utilized before and are described in S3 Text and S13 Fig (Titration of Cerulenin to determine its optimal concentration for the MSP/C-E-MAP).Supporting InformationS1 Text.
