Journal ArticleDOI
Proposed diagnostic criteria for neurocysticercosis
O. H. Del Brutto,Vedantam Rajshekhar,A. C. White,Victor C. W. Tsang,Theodore E. Nash,Osvaldo Massaiti Takayanagui,P.M. Schantz,Carlton A. Evans,Ana Flisser,Dolores Correa,D. Botero,J. C. Allan,Elsa Sarti,Armando E. Gonzalez,Robert H. Gilman,Robert H. Gilman,Hector H. Garcia +16 more
TL;DR: Diagnosis of neurocysticercosis is provided based on objective clinical, imaging, immunologic, and epidemiologic data and Interpretation permits two degrees of diagnostic certainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass treatment against human taeniasis for the control of cysticercosis: a population-based intervention study
Elsa Sarti,P.M. Schantz,Guillermina Avila,Javier R. Ambrosio,R. Medina-Santillán,Ana Flisser +5 more
TL;DR: An impact of mass chemotherapy against taeniasis to control cysticercosis in the short and long term was demonstrated and late-onset convulsive crisis and specific antibodies are good indicators of neurocysticercotic and of exposure to the parasite, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiological investigation of Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis in a rural village of Michoacan State, Mexico
Elsa Sarti,P.M. Schantz,A. Plancarte,Marianna Wilson,I.O. Gutierrez,J. Aguilera,Jacquelin M. Roberts,Ana Flisser +7 more
TL;DR: This study has demonstrated previously undiagnosed morbidity associated with T. solium neurocysticercosis and identified community behavioural and environmental practices that must be modified to prevent continued transmission of cysticERCosis and taeniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community-Based Epidemiological Investigations of Cysticercosis Due to Taenia solium: Comparison of Serological Screening Tests and Clinical Findings in Two Populations in Mexico
P.M. Schantz,Elsa Sarti,A. Plancarte,Marianna Wilson,J. L. Criales,Jacquelin M. Roberts,A. Flisser +6 more
TL;DR: EITB was more sensitive and specific than ELISA for epidemiological studies of neurocysticercosis and was strengthened by the higher rate of abnormal findings compatible with neurocyticercosis on computed tomography of the brain among individuals with a history of convulsions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential serodiagnosis for cystic and alveolar echinococcosis using fractions of Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid (antigen B) and E. multilocularis protoscolex (EM18).
Akira Ito,Liang Ma,P.M. Schantz,Bruno Gottstein,Yue-Han Liu,J J Chai,S K Abdel-Hafez,N Altintas,D D Joshi,Marshall W. Lightowlers,Z. Pawlowski +10 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that antigen B (8-kD) is not species- specific for E. granulosus but is genus-specific for Echinococcus, and that the Em18 antigen is a reliable serologic marker for species-specific differentiation of AE from CE.
