Infekcní klinika ILF, Praha.

The authors report 10 cases of cysticercosis registered by the National Reference Laboratory for tissue helminthiasis. Six Czech citizens and four foreigners contracted the disease. Four of 6 Czech citizens were contaminated abroad. Six patients suffered from nervous manifestations of cysticercosis, 2 from muscular or subcutaneous cysticercosis and 2 patients had an asymptomatic course of the infection. The prerequisite of successful treatment with new anthelmintics is early diagnostics.
