[Neurocysticercosis with initial clinical picture of acute meningitis].
Twenty seven cases of neurocysticercosis, with clinical picture of acute meningitis, are described. Twenty (74.1%) patients are male; the age was 4 to 42 years (23.6 +/- 11.7 years). The etiologic diagnosis was defined by the complement fixation test (Weinberg) and/or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for cysticercosis in the cerebrospinal fluid (c. s. f.). Six patients that realized cranial computerized tomographic scan resembling neurocysticercosis. Twenty one (77.8%) have predominance of lymphomononuclear cells in the c. s. f. obtained in the admission to the hospital; in 6 (22.2%) there were predominance of polymorphonuclear neutrophils. In this c. s. f. lymphomononuclear pleocytosis and in three that have c. s. f. neutrophil pleocytosis, suggesting the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis. The treatment of acute neurocysticercosis was made with dexamethasone. All the patients survived and were transferred to the ambulatory of Neurology for follow-up and complementary treatment.
