La carta al editor se refiere al artículo de Canaval-Zuleta et al. aceptado para publicación, titulado "Endoscopy as an alternative diagnostic and therapeutic technique for Taenia saginata". El trabajo presenta una serie de incorrecciones que deben ser aclaradas, o al menos parte de ellas en solo 300 palabras. La información sobre las vias de infeccion en taeniasis, así como la patogenia y técn...

The parasitological, immunological and molecular diagnosis of human taeniasis with special emphasis on Taenia solium taeniasis

Human neurocysticercosis, caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium, is an important neurological disorder reported as a major cause of epilepsy. An important risk factor for neurocysticercosis is the presence of human T. solium carriers who, upon open defecation, disseminate tapeworm eggs, which are infective to both humans and pigs. In the latter, infection also results in cyst...

Control of Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis by focus-oriented chemotherapy of taeniasis.

The mortality, mortality, and disability due to Taenia solium neurocysticercosis are common and serious health problems in some regions, including several Asian countries. Neurocysticercosis in man and cysticercosis in pigs can be controlled by treatment, in man with a single, low (2 1/2 or 5 mg/kg) and safe dose of praziquantel. The problem which remains is the identification of a Taenia soliu...

Epidemiology of Taenia Solium Taeniasis/cysticercosis in India and Nepal

The fact that cysticercosis is a major health hazard in India and Nepal is evident from the large number of patients with neurocysticercosis (NCC) managed in hospitals in the two countries in recent years. Unfortunately, population-based epidemiological data on Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis are lacking from both countries. Hospital-based data and small population-based studies form ...

Nested PCR for specific diagnosis of Taenia solium taeniasis.

Taeniasis due to Taenia solium is a disease with important public health consequences, since the larval stage is not exclusive to the animal intermediate, the pig, but also infects humans, causing neurocysticercosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of T. solium tapeworm carriers is important to prevent human cysticercosis. Current diagnosis based on microscopic observation of eggs lacks both sens...
