RESUMO
Objective To study the value of CT combined with immune tests for the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis.Methods The data of 24 patients with cerebral schistosomiasis were collected and analyzed retrospectively,and all the patients were examined with CT and serum IHA and ELISA and,in addition,18 patients had the data of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)IHA and ELISA.Results Twenty-one patients were diagnosed through CT and immune tests,one patients was diagnosed by postoperative pathology,and other two patients were proved by diagnostic therapy with praziquantel.Conclusion CT combined with immune tests has an important value for the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis,and serum immune tests are more simple and more practical than CSF immune tests.
