摘要: The presence of positive antibody titres to Toxoplasma and Toxocara in an adult epileptic population has been examined relation other observations aetiological importance. With Toxoplasma, more particularly with Toxocara, a higher incidence was recorded than nonepileptic populations. Comparison previous studies childhood epilepsy indicate that the increased age throughout life. Despite attention onset epilepsy, presumed factors, electroencephalographic clinical observations, no causal relationship between parasitic infection aetiology established.
