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.
神经囊尾蚴病在短期旅行者中鲜有报道，尽管该病在热带地区仍是一个主要的公共卫生问题。我们报告一例神经囊尾蚴病病例，可能是旅行者食用了自己宰杀的猪胃中所含的猪带绦虫卵而感染。通过药物治疗实现了临床完全缓解，这突出了早期怀疑和诊断该病的重要性。
