  • 摘要:

    Seizures that are caused by parasitic worm infestation have been of keen interest to neurologists for over 250 years and neurocysticercosis (NCC), in particular, may currently be the single most common cause of seizures in third world countries (1, 2). Any attempt to reduce the incidence and prevalence of NCC, throughout the developing world, will require the coordinated efforts of multiple specialties including epileptologists, public health specialists, parasitologists, as well as the support of both governmental and non-governmental agencies. The application of TeleHealth methods for using the internet and world wide web as an increasingly crucial means of communication across the medical and public health communities, may allow for the effective coordination of country-specific public health efforts aimed at reducing the incidence of seizures secondary to NCC.
