Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm pregnant was i had to help a person who was having uncontrollable seizures. He has no recorded background for seizures. He as admitted to the emerency room where they had to take him to a bigger, better hospital because they could not control the seizures either. The doctors stated that it could be a parasite in the brain. I was just wondering if it was a brain parasite, could it be passed along to me, even if i did not touch nothing he touched or touched him.
Hi thanks for asking question. The doctor suspecting neurocysticercosis brain parasitic infection in that fellow. You have not touch him so no chance of spreading of infection at all. It can be transmitted from fecooral route, means egg can be transmitted through contaminated food. It can also be spread from eating improperly cooked meat form pig or bovis. Here you have no chance of spread of parasite from that person. I hope i have solve your query regarding spread of that parasitic infection.
