*8.2.1 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)*

The CSF examination constitutes an important diagnostic and clinical tool in diagnosis of suspected neurocysticercosis [10, 18]. CSF has the advantage of being in more direct contact with the central nervous system (CNS) and its collection requires an aseptic lumber puncture procedure. However, CSF examination may complement serological and biochemical diagnosis. Though, antibody detection by enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) is similarly higher in CSF as compared to other methods [19, 20].
