Efficacy comparison between long-term high-dose praziquantel and surgical therapy for cerebral sparganosis: A multicenter retrospective cohort study

Abstract

In this small-sample, nonrandomized, retrospective exploratory study, some patients with cerebral sparganosis were responsive to long-term, high-dose praziquantel with an efficacy similar to that of surgical lesion removal. These findings increase the treatment flexibility for this serious infection.
