Ocular cysticercosis is a human parasitic disease caused by Taenia solium, responsible for multiple diseases that are acquired through the consumption of pork in poor condition, fruits and vegetables contaminated with parasite cysticerci. This pathology occurs when the larval form of the microorganism lodges in the eye, causing significant loss of vision as well as a series of significant symptoms. Objective: To analyze from the
physiopathological point of view the Ocular Cysticercosis as a re-emerging disease. Methodology: To carry out the review article, a bibliographic search was used in order to find current information in different databases (SCOPUS, PUDMEB and SCIENCIE DIRECT) with the use of key words registered in DeCS and MeSH. Conclusions: Cysticercosis is caused by the Cysticercus of Taenia solium; the human being can acquire it if he accidentally ingests food contaminated with the eggs of the parasite, which develop into cysticerci and are released in the small intestine through hematogenously to reach the ocular zone where they form cysts causing chorioretinitis, vasculitis and detachment of the retina, until causing a blindness. This is considered a reemerging zoonosis and little studied being a public health problem in countries of South America, in the European continent and India. Regarding the risk factors, we have that they are similar to those
described in all the parasitoses caused by the microorganism |
