OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical and radiological spectrum of @entity6583 in the Uttaranchal region. METHODS: A total of 592 @entity1 of @entity6583 attending various health camps, medical outdoor and indoor department were studied for their clinical and radiological presentation. RESULTS: Out of the total 15,000 @entity1 screened, 592 @entity1 (3.94%) were found to be suffering from @entity6583 . Majority of them were in the age group of 21-30 years. Most of them presented with generalized @entity410 (62.5%), others had @entity10 (37.5%), focal @entity410 (20.8%), localizing neurological signs (16.6%), @entity693 (4.1%), and @entity303 (1.3%). Radiologically, parenchymal lesions were most prevalent (81%). However, @entity75 were also not very uncommon (32%). Most of them had single lesions (53.5%), 26.7% had multiple lesions and 0.7% had midline shift. Significantly, large number of @entity1 were vegetarians (39%); only 17.6% were pork eaters while the remaining 82.4% never had pork in their meals. CONCLUSION: We believe that such high percentage is at least a rough indicator of high incidence and prevalence of @entity6583 in the Uttaranchal region. They had wide range of clinical and radiological presentation. Small number of pork eaters and a significant number of vegetarians suggest other modes of transmission and needs further evaluation.
