“…Cuadra [1949] considered CSF eosinophilia higher than 20% as a certain symptom of cerebral parasitosis, but wider application of cytological investigation of the CSF has shown that considerable eosinophilic reactions may also oc cur in various allergic states of the nervous system and in autoimmune diseases accompanied by nervous system symptoms. Thus, for instance, Wolff [1956] observed a 100-percent eosinophilia in the CSF in men ingitis caused by nitrolacquer poisoning; Schmidt and Hecht [1962], a 66-percent eosinophilia in meningitis developing after eating fish salad; Sayk [1957] reported 61°/o CSF eosinophilia in polyradiculitis and 72%> in periarteritis nodosa. In the material of our department, the highest CSF eosinophil values were found in one case of chronic non-bacterial meningitis of unknown origin (25%), in periarteritis nodosa accompa nied by 'mononeuritis multiplex' (26%) and in a case of ascending arachnoradiculoencephalomyelitis (35%) [Péter and Kovacs, 1967],…”

The CSF of a female patient with temporal epilepsy contained up to 38% eosinophil cells, 3–4% plasma cells, a ‘mulberry cell’ among them. Agar-gel electrophoresis of the cerebrospinal fluid indicated a greatly increased Γ-globulin content (48.4%), containing four subfractions, of which the Γ₂-fraction dominated (22.3%). There were palpable nodules under the skin and the muscles. X-ray pictures showed innumerable calcified shadows. The great number of nodules found on muscle biopsy were identified as Cysticercus cysts. The patient experienced peculiar auditory illusions: genuine auditory sensations recurred and persevered for a long period of time. This auditory illusion has not been described before and may be called acoustic perseveration, or palinacusis. The simultaneous occurrence of auditory perseveration and hallucinations points to their common pathomechanism. The neurological symptoms were presumably caused by left temporofrontally localized meningocerebral cysticercosis.
