In endemic regions, neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most commonly diagnosed parasitic disease of the central nervous system, and the most common cause of convulsions and hydrocephalus in adults. During January 2000-December 2006, serum samples collected from patients presenting with various manifestations with a clinical diagnosis of cysticercosis and/or relevant computed tomography findings were subjected to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test for NCC. Anti-cysticercus antibodies were detected in 155 of the 1096 (14.1%) cases. Generalized seizure (33.9%) was the most common presenting symptom. Solitary lesion (74.2%) was the most common radiological finding. This study provides an assessment of the epidemiology of NCC in Delhi and stresses the need for its prevention.
