We report the case of a 24-year-old woman born and residing in Guinea-Bissau, who was transferred to Portugal two months after the onset of a possible meningitis (fever, headache, seizures, and coma) that did not respond to antibiotic treatment. The diagnosis of NCC was confirmed by MR imaging, which showed multiple lesions compatible with cysticercus, and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the cerebrospinal fluid. After 28 days on albendazole and dexamethasone without improvement, she was started on praziquantel, which she completed in six weeks with progressive recovery.Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT)Global Health and Tropical Medicine (GHTM)RUNValadas, EmíliaBadura, RobertMarques, TiagoNeno, MiguelBoura, MárciaSutre, Ana FilipaBeato, SílviaGrácio, Maria AméliaNeves, José Cordeiro2018-05-14T22:02:42Z2015-01-152015-01-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article4application/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.3855/jidc.5032eng2036-6590PURE: 1733039http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84921279730&partnerID=8YFLogxKhttps://doi.org/10.3855/jidc.5032info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:20:31Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/36951Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:30:43.650160Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
