Líquido cefalorraqueano e neurocisticercose: aspectos evolutivos da resposta inflamatória celular

Abstract: Aspectos imunobiológicos da neurocisticercose (NC) podem fornecer, como subsídio aos conhecimentos clínicos, recursos hábeis a aprimorar critérios de diagnóstico e de avaliação do perfil de evolução. Estes recursos incorporam inovações na área de neurociências, sobretudo no que se refere aos exames de neuroimagem e a aspectos neuroimunológicos do exame de líquido cefalorra¬ queano (LCR). Os dados do exame do LCR permitem o diagnóstico imunológico, por um lado pelo estudo das características funcionais dos elem… Show more

“…The pleocytosis observed in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with NC has been considered to be an element indicative of infection and immune system activity, which, however, is non‐specific [1,2]. The CSF proteins revealed a type of electrophoretic pattern, which has been verified in subacute and chronic processes of the CNS, showing an increase in gamma‐globulin level [3].…”

“…CSF examination shows classical variables for the diagnosis of NC known for several decades: pleocytosis, eosinophilorraquia and the presence of specific antibodies [23][24][25] . This last topic has become a very sensible and specific parameter for the diagnosis, thanks to new techniques introduced in the clinical practice, like the enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay and immunoblotting.…”

“…Neuroimaging is strongly applied in the diagnosis for NC, permitting visualization of the parasite in its different stages [20][21][22] . Examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be a valuable diagnostic tool, providing sensitive information about the inflammatory process and activity of NC [23][24][25][26][27] . Recently, a methodology able to detect anti-Taenia antigens was developed, using highly purified antibodies against Taenia antigens, showing high sensibility and specificity 28 .…”

“…A forma mais grave de infecção humana, NC provoca graves sintomas como epilepsia, quadros psíquicos e demenciais e aumento de pressão intracraniana, este último responsável pela elevada letal idade (MACHADO , 1987 (CARPIO , 2002).…”
