SloveniaThe article discusses the case of a woman named Lowrijeva who contracted neurocysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by pork tapeworms (Taenia solium). The infection led to severe headaches, epileptic seizures, and psychosis. She initially traveled to India in 2007, where she may have been infected, despite avoiding meat to prevent food poisoning. It wasn’t until 2010 that she noticed symptoms, but initial tests were inconclusive. By 2011, she experienced her first seizure and was eventually diagnosed with neurocysticercosis after further testing. She spent two weeks in the hospital receiving treatment, including anti-parasitic medication and steroids. Over time, she appeared to recover, traveling and engaging in various activities, but later developed severe neurological and psychiatric symptoms, leading to a stay in a psychiatric ward.
