Clinical Manifestations
• Taenia solium may cause cysticercosis. The
most severe cysticercosis is that which involve CNS (neurocysticercosis). Other sites are
lungs, liver, and eyes.
• Neurocysticercosis might cause meningitis, epilepsy, dementia, and can be fatal.
• Taenia saginata does not cause cysticercosis.
Management
Management
• Diagnosis is based on QDP (questionnaire of
demonstration proglottids). Though possible,
it’s hard to get the eggs from fecal examination. it’s hard to get the eggs from fecal examination.
• Cysticercosis is found through radiologic
Management
Management
• The worms need to be expelled completely from the intestine. We need to be sure that not only have the proglottids, but also the scolex and neck been
removed.
• Laxatives to expel proglottids
• Niclosamide
