Abstract:
The pleomorphism of neurocysticercosis makes its diagnosis impossible based on clinical data alone, thus, clinical data, epidemiologic backgrounds and neuroimaging are frequently used to do the diagnosis. On the other hand, the relationship between neurocysticercosis and allergic diseases is unclear. The present article discusses the coexistence of neurocysticercosis and asthma exacerbation in a patient in who two parenchymal cysts of the parasite were demonstrated. The enhancement of the allergic response and the parasite dye could be in relation with both allergic symptoms exacerbations and neurological symptoms appearance.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
