  • Title: Acute cysticercal meningitis--missed diagnosis.
    Author: Mishra D, Sharma S, Gupta S, Das M, Chauhan D.
    Journal: Indian J Pediatr; 2006 Sep; 73(9):835-7. PubMed ID: 17006046.
    Abstract:
    Neurocysticercosis is the commonest CNS parasitic disease worldwide but cysticercal meningoencephalitis is relatively rare, especially in Indian patients. We herein report a girl with cysticercal meningitis that was initially not suspected and later diagnosed on the basis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) eosinophilia. The need for CSF examination with wright-giemsa staining to avoid missing CSF eosinophilia is discussed.
