    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical application value of diagnostic therapy of praziquantel for suspected cerebral cysticercosis. METHODS: The suspected cerebral cysticercosis patients were collected and treated with the diagnostic therapy [praziquantel, 50 mg/(kg · d)], and followed up for 1-2 years. RESULTS: Totally 94 suspected cerebral cysticercosis patients were collected. After the diagnostic therapy, 78 (82.98%) cases were confirmed as cerebral cysticercosis, 13 (13.83%) were diagnosed as other diseases, and 3 (3.19%) were not definitely diagnosed. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic therapy for suspected cerebral cysticercosis can reduce or avoid the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis in some atypical cerebral cysticercosis patients.
