Hello,
I am a medical person from Europe, living in Kathmandu, Nepal. Am not in a medical environment anymore, so seeking discussion though the internet might be helpful. A till date healthy 13 years old girl from a children`s home which is under my care, presented with a seizure 2 days ago. CT-scan is normal, might be repeated. Eosinophil count is remarkably high with 88% Leucocytosis 17.000. Report of recurring headaches since April, otherwise no symptoms/no irregular findings. Search for parasites is ongoing Last Stool Test in May - normal findings On Albendazole 400mg once/year since 2004 Any ideas on seizure plus eosinophilia ? Thank you, Petra |

O.K., it is Neurocysticercosis, tape worm larva confirmed by CT-scan.
Seizure treatment with Carbamazepine, probably for 2 years. Thank you, Petra |
