Can A Parasite Cause A Lump What Parasite Caused A Disease For One That Developed Seizures & A Single Brain Lesion Consistent With A Tumor

What parasite caused a disease for one that developed seizures & a single brain lesion consistent with a tumor - can a parasite cause a lump

This girl developed generalized convulsions. A CT scan showed a lesion consistent with a brain tumor. The biopsy of the lesion showed cysticerus. The patient lived in South Carolina and had never traveled out of state. What parasite is causing your illness? How is the disease? How could it be avoided?

It is a question to my college-level course Introduction to Microbiology in the category of "critical thinking". Thank you in advance for any reply.

The fact that he never traveled from the state, does not mean that humans and animals that came into contact with the same story. The parasites are transmitted much more easily than some might believe.

Should be for me, critical thinking, what to do for the poor girl to get rid of parasites that can heal. Even if you can identify the nature or origin of the parasite can be treated with a parasite cleanse to kill the cause of their symptoms.

Hmmm. Now it is a thought. :-)
