Аннотация
In the province of Bururi in Burundi, 103 epileptics and 72 control subjects from the same households were examined for cysticercosis. Antigen was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 4.9% of epileptic persons and in 4.2% of controls. Antibody was detected by enzyme-linked electroimmunotransfer blot assay (EITB) in 11.7% of epileptics and in 2.8% of controls. Neither difference was statistically significant, nor was a history of taeniasis significantly more frequent in epileptics than in controls. However, cysticercosis was significantly more frequently diagnosed by EITB in people with a history of taeniasis than in those without such a history. The prevalence of taeniasis in schoolchildren ranged between 0 and 1.0%. Meat inspection detected cysticercosis in 2% and 39% of pigs in 2 localities, respectively.
