An 18-year-old who complained of seizures in the emergency room of an Indian hospital turned out to have parasites in his brain, according to a case study published in the New England Journal of Medicine
An 18-year-old who complained of seizures in the emergency room of an Indian hospital turned out to have parasites in his brain, according to a case study published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Drs. Nishanth Dev and S. Zafar Abbas of the ESIC Medical College and Hospital in Faridabad reported that the patient, who appeared in the ER with swelling over his right eye, was having tonic-clonic seizures. Formerly known as"grand mal" seizures, these neural disturbances cause stiffened muscles and a loss of consciousness. His parents said that their son had felt pain in his right groin for a week.
Generally, these infections call for anti-parasitic drugs combined with anti-inflammatory medicines, but surgery may be necessary if a patient doesn't respond or to reduce brain swelling. Symptoms may require care even if the parasitic infection itself no longer needs attention or treatment.
