摘要

Neurocysticercosis (NC) is the most frequent parasitic disease of the Central Nervous System, and the most frequent cause of epilepsy worldwide (1,2,3). It is endemic in many regions of the world, and certain parts of the United States particularly the southwestern states of California and New Mexico. NC represents a major cause of morbidity among the immigrant Hispanic population. However, as the number of immigrants expanded, especially those from endemic areas, there have also been a progressive increase in the cases of NC in other parts of the country, in the past ten years. We report nine cases of patients with NC, diagnosed at Henry Ford Hospital, in Detroit, between 1989 and 1999, were identified. All of them were immigrants to the United States, eight from Mexico and one from India. Introduction Neurocysticercosis (NC) is the most frequent parasitic disease of the Central Nervous System, and the most frequent cause of epilepsy worldwide (1,2,3). It is endemic in many regions of the world, and certain parts of the United States particularly the southwestern states of California and New Mexico. NC represents a major cause of morbidity among the immigrant Hispanic population. However, as the number of immigrants expanded, especially those from endemic areas, there have also been a progressive increase in the cases of NC in other parts of the country, in the past ten years. Michigan is not considered an endemic region for NC. However, the latest U. S. census data has shown that the Hispanic population in Michigan has nearly doubled in the past decade, rising from 2.2% in 1990 to 3.5% in 2000 (4). Most of the increased Hispanic immigration into Michigan has come from people from Mexico. It is expected that a proportionate increase in NC will be seen in local hospitals. To estimate the magnitude of this problem, we reviewed the medical records at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, for patients with NC in the past decade. Cases Nine patients with NC, diagnosed at Henry Ford Hospital, in Detroit, between 1989 and 1999, were identified (Table). All of them were immigrants to the United States, eight from Mexico and one from India.
