[Study on diagnosis of cerebral cysticercosis by antibody detection and imaging techniques].

Objective: To establish new criteria of antibody detection for the diagnosis of cerebral cysticercosis in combining with imaging examinations for reducing the missed and neglected diagnosis of the disease.

Methods: 1,160 cases with adequate clinical data were collected for the study, among them all cases received antibody detection and computerized tomography(CT), 538 cases were examined by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). Following the locations that cysticerci parasitized, the cases were grouped in four types of cerebral cysticercosis: 1,087 cases in brain parenchyma (93.
