This study follows people with neurocysticercosis (a brain infection caused by pork tapeworm larvae) during and after their standard medical treatment. Researchers will track 500 patients over time to understand how the disease progresses, what factors lead to better or worse outcomes, and identify biological markers that could improve future diagnosis and care. The goal is to gather detailed information about this complex infection to help doctors provide more effective treatment.
