Exposure to parasitic infections determines features and phenotypes of active convulsive epilepsy in Africa

<strong>Background: </strong>Epilepsy affects 70 million people worldwide, 80% of whom are in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Infections of the central nervous system (CNS) contribute considerably to the burden of epilepsy in LMICs, but the nature and presentation of epilepsy fo...
