The present work aimed to evaluate the pattern of CSF alterations in patients diagnosed with neurocysticercosis (NCC) in racemose form.Method This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with diagnosis of NCC in racemose form. CSF samples from 26 patients were analyzed. After patient-chart analysis was performed descriptive analysis of case studies and comparison between sexes in relation to variables were obtained with CSF by Mann-Whitney and Student's t-tests.Results The sexes did not differ statistically when compared to pleocytosis in CSF. Eosinophils were present in 31% in samples while the ELISA test presented 80% sensitivity in this case series. Of the patient total, 24 presented a meningitis pattern with lymphocytic predominance.Conclusion There was no difference in inflammatory pattern between the sexes, with predominance of lymphocytic meningitis and 80% sensitivity by ELISA test of CSF patients with racemose form of NCC.
本研究旨在评估诊断为葡萄状神经囊尾蚴病(NCC)患者的脑脊液改变模式。方法:这是一项对诊断为葡萄状NCC患者的回顾性队列研究。分析了26例患者的脑脊液样本。在进行患者病历分析后,对病例研究进行描述性分析,并通过Mann-Whitney检验和学生t检验对脑脊液相关变量进行性别间比较。结果:脑脊液中细胞增多时,男女之间无统计学差异。样本中31%存在嗜酸性粒细胞,而在本病例系列中ELISA试验的敏感性为80%。在所有患者中,24例呈现以淋巴细胞为主的脑膜炎模式。结论:男女之间的炎症模式无差异,以淋巴细胞性脑膜炎为主,葡萄状NCC患者脑脊液ELISA试验的敏感性为80%。
