Indian teen dies after tapeworm laid eggs in his brain

[covertbriar]

An 18-year-old teenager in Faridabad, India, died from a rare case involving a tapeworm that laid eggs inside his brain.

The unidentified teen was first taken to the emergency room of a hospital due to generalised tonic-clonic seizures, according to a case study released by The New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday.

The teen's parents told doctors that he had been suffering pain in the groin for a week. When brought for physical examination, the patient was confused and had swelling in his right eye and tenderness in the right testis.

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed that he had numerous well-defined cystic lesions throughout his brain.

The lesions were consistent with neurocysticercosis, which is defined by the World Health Organisation as a "parasitic infection of the central nervous system and is caused by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium." Humans may be infected by this after eating undercooked food, particularly pork or water contaminated with tapeworm eggs.

I was going to say that if the boy were a muslim, he would still be alive. But then again, nothing is nearly as good as pork ribs! Juicy BBQ pork ribs, dripping in BBQ sauce. I think I shall have that for this evening's dinner. Sedap!!

If the majority of muslims were like this man, the world would be more peaceful. And less delicious pork to go around. But that's a small price to pay.
