			<p>Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a clinical condition in humans, which infects brain
caused by a encysted larvae, cysticercoid of Taenia solium. NCC is common
disease but its diagnosis remains problematic. Suspected cases of
Neurocysticercosis were underwent CT/MRI neuroimaging and also blood samples
were collected. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) used for detction
of IgG antibodies in serum samples using Execretory-Secretory (ES) antigen.
Positivity for IgG antibodies seen in 59 patients about 71.9%. ES antigen was
positive in 4(44.4%) of 9 patients with live cysts, 18 of 61 patients (29.5%) with
degenerative cysts and only 1 of 6 patients ( 16.6%) with calcified cysts. Maximum
positive results on immunological tests were obtained when the number of
lesions were high, when the lesions were in contact with CSF and when there were
live cysts. Comparative study of Radioimaging and ELISA gives better results and
helpful in early diagnosis and accurate treatment.</p>
