Cisticercosis cutánea y hepática diseminada en una paciente con infección por HTLV-1

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Cysticercosis is endemic in developing countries in Latin America. We present the case of a 69 years old woman, a native Bolivian from the Aimará community. She suffers cutaneous disseminated cysticercosis and also presents asymptomatic liver and muscle involvement, and has no central nervous system lesions. We also reached the concom-itant diagnosis of human T-cell type 1 lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) infection. We suggest that her clinical presentation derives from the presence of the virus as a necessary precedent of this unusual clinical case. This association has not been described in the national medical bibliography so far.
