Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Crysticercosis was caused by the larval stage of tapeworm Taenia solium and a major public health problem, especial-ly in the developing world. A total number of 92 subjects were requited in the present study among which they have been clinically suspected cases of Crysticercosis of both sexes between the age group of 10 to 60 years . Study Group I consisted of 70 patients, among which 42 were males and 28 were females, 57 adult and 13 paediatric cases. 30 cases from rural where as 40 were from urban areas. Study Group II consisted of 22 patients with 14 males and 8 females, 19 adults and 3 paediatric cases, 13 urban cases and 9 rural cases. All the cases with habit of pork eating are seropositive 4 out of 14 pure vegetrains are seropositive 50 out of total 92 cases of belonging to both groups are having non-vegetrain food habits other than pork. Among 50 of these cases 43 are seropositive (86%)of these cases 43 are seropositive (86%). In the current study there is a significant difference between the two groups i.e. group I radiologically proven subjects and radiologically unproven cases and no significance was observed within the group, however the screening of IgG antibodies for Neurocysticercosis is recommended and further studies has to be initiated for better diagnostic approach in cysticerosis.
