Case Review
Research Project Description:
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a parasitic infection caused by the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. When a human ingests contaminated food or water that contain the eggs of the pork tapeworm, larvae hatch in the GI tract and then penetrate various tissues in the body, including the central nervous system. NCC is a neglected parasitic infection found all throughout the world, primarily in subtropical and tropical regions. NCC is a leading cause of seizure worldwide. The primary objective of the research project is to conduct a retrospective analysis of patients who are diagnosed with NCC and describe the epidemiology, clinical features and treatment outcomes. A secondary objective is to assess for health disparities among those with NCC. In the United States we know very little about NCC and in the state of Florida a single center analysis has not be done. Seeking 1-2 medical students with interests in infectious diseases, global health, neurology and neurosurgery.
