Neurocysticercosis is the most severe form of infection caused by ingesting cysticerci, the larval cysts of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. Approximately 50 million people worldwide have neurocysticercosis, which is the leading cause of acquired epilepsy in many endemic countries.The health of neurocysticercosis patients can be seriously impaired, including through loss of mobility, inability to do self-care, impairment of usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, and impaired cognition. Cognitive impairment is the major consequence of neurocysticercosis and significant contributor to decreased health-related quality of life. Our study made the first estimate of disability weight from neurocysticercosis as a key parameter for disease burden assessment in China.To prevent severe health outcomes from neurocysticercosis in China, it is necessary to improve public awareness of neurocysticercosis and relevant health behaviors.Copyright and License information: Editorial Office of CCDCW, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2022.
