	Clinical Trial Of Praziquantel And Prednisone In Rural Patients With Neurocysticercosis Presenting With Recurrent ...
		In places like former Transkei where combination of NCC, CNS Schistosomiasis, PTB and retroviral infections can be present, regular cycles of praziquantel and prednisone (also kills Schistosoma mansoni) should be done until this picture will be changed by a good primary health care system.
		The severity of the infection in patients with more than fifty viable cysticercus, associated calcified lesions with perilesional edema, and increased number of re-infections suggest additional course of praziquantel or regular cycles; our proposal is one day treatment every month for six month, regular assessment and reconsider further courses.
		One day of treatment with praziquantel at doses of 100mg/kg/day divided in dosage of 25 mg/kg 3 hourly and 40 mg of prednisone for 4 days can be the treatment of choice for patients with recurrent seizures and mixed forms of NCC.
