Pendant sept ans, une jeune Australienne a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 des troubles visuels associ\u00e9s \u00e0 de violents maux de t\u00eate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ses 25 ans, les m\u00e9decins lui ont diagnostiqu\u00e9 un kyste \u00e0 l\u2019arri\u00e8re du cerveau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mais lors de l\u2019op\u00e9ration, ils ont constat\u00e9 que cette grosseur \u00e9tait compos\u00e9e\u2026 de larves du ver plat Taenia solium !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ce ver est end\u00e9mique de zones comme l\u2019Afrique subsaharienne, l\u2019Inde, l\u2019Am\u00e9rique latine et l\u2019Asie du Sud-Est, o\u00f9 la jeune femme n\u2019avait pourtant jamais voyag\u00e9. Mais elle a pu \u00eatre contamin\u00e9e en ing\u00e9rant des \u0153ufs du parasite pr\u00e9sents dans l\u2019environnement, l\u2019eau ou l\u2019alimentation souill\u00e9e par les d\u00e9jections de personnes porteuses de ce ver. Le plus souvent, le parasite squatte les intestins<\/a>, c\u2019est le fameux \u00ab ver solitaire \u00bb, que l\u2019on attrape en consommant de la viande de porc crue ou mal cuite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mais les larves peuvent envahir les tissus et s\u2019enkyster dans les muscles, la peau, les yeux ou le syst\u00e8me nerveux central. On parle alors de neurocysticercose. Cette forme grave, qui touche environ 50 millions de personnes dans le monde, est la principale cause de l\u2019\u00e9pilepsie acquise dans les pays en d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pendant sept ans, une jeune Australienne a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 des troubles visuels associ\u00e9s \u00e0 de violents maux de t\u00eate.
