Doença das meninges, causada por uma infecção por cistos larvais do verme parasita Taenia solium. Esta doença é caracterizada por dor de cabeça, febre, convulsões ou déficits neurológicos. A transmissão ocorre através da disseminação hematogênica de larvas para as meninges após a ingestão de ovos de Taenia solium (ou proglotes) em alimentos ou água contaminados. A confirmação é feita por exames avançados de imagem e detecção de anticorpos contra Taenia solium no soro ou líquido cefalorraquidiano. | |||
