Exposure to multiple parasites is associated with the prevalence of active convulsive epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa

BACKGROUND: Epilepsy is common in developing countries, and it is often associated with parasitic infections. We investigated the relationship between exposure to parasitic infections, particularly multiple infections and active convulsive epilepsy (ACE), in five sites across sub-Saharan Africa. MET...
