Introducction: neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of the Central Nervous System in Perú; it is hyperendemic in the Highlands and also in some areas of the Coast and Jungle.Objectives: To determine the prevalence and risk factors related to neurocysticercosis in workers of a slaughterhouse in an impoverished area of Lima.Materials and methods: this is a transversal study in 60 workers of a slaughterhouse in the capital of Perú; the workers underwent a clinical, epidemiological and serological (EITB) evaluation; an axial computer tomography was obtained from those who were EITB positive. The O.H Del Brutto (1996) neurocysticercosis diagnostic criteria were used. The prevalence of neurocysticercosis and its association with risk factors were calculated with the SPSS statistical package, v 10.0.Results: the prevalence of neurocysticercosis in our st...
