  • Title: Cerebral infarct precipitated by praziquantel in neurocysticercosis--a cautionary note.
    Author: Woo E, Yu YL, Huang CY.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1988 Apr; 40(2):143-6. PubMed ID: 3407004.
    Abstract:
    A patient who developed a cerebral infarct during the course of praziquantel therapy for neurocysticercosis is described. Destruction of a large number of cysts by praziquantel followed by a massive inflammatory response was likely to have precipitated the event. Caution on the use of this drug in patients with heavy parasite loads is emphasized.
