Neurocysticercosis in an Italian traveler to Latin America

G Chatel, M Gulletta, C Scolari, E Bombana, I El-Hamad, A Matteelli, and G Carosi

Neurocysticercosis is rarely reported in short-term travelers, although the disease remains a major public health problem in tropical regions. We present a case of neurocysticercosis that was probably acquired by ingestion of Taenia solium eggs contained in the stomach of a pig butchered by the traveler. Complete clinical resolution was obtained by medical treatment, underlying the importance of early suspicion and diagnosis of the disease.
