There were no significant differences comparing results of the laboratory tests with the result of the classification of NCC lesions in CT scanning (Fisher test; EITB: p = 0.452, Ag-ELISA: p = 0.100, copro-Ag ELISA: p = 0.542). *For Copro-Ag ELISA n = 49 ** For Copro-Ag ELISA total n = 54 *** For Copro-Ag ELISA n = 5 **** For Copro-Ag ELISA total n = 48 PWAE… People with active epilepsy, PWIE… People with inactive epilepsy, NCC … Neurocysticercosis, CT… Computed tomography, EITB… Enzyme linked immunoelectrotransfer blot to detect cysticercus antibodies in serum, Ag-ELISA… Detection test for cysticercus antigens in serum, Copro-Ag ELISA… Detection test for antigens in stool to diagnose taeniosis CT scanning was performed on 49 (96.1%) of the 51 PWAE.
