  • Title: [Selective sensitivity of cysts to praziquantel and albendazole in a case of cerebral cysticercosis].
    Author: Cohen L, Belec L, Sanson M, Pierrot-Deseilligny C, Signoret JL.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1992; 148(1):58-61. PubMed ID: 1604116.
    Abstract:
    A case of neurocysticercosis in a Zaïrian patient with clinical and neuro-radiological follow-up is reported. Treatment with praziquantel resulted in the regression of only some of the cysts. Subsequent treatment with albendazole was effective, eliminating most of the remaining lesions. This case illustrates a selective sensitivity of cysts to praziquantel and albendazole in a single patient.
