Onchocerca volvulus and epilepsy: A comprehensive review using the Bradford Hill criteria for causation.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The possibility that onchocerciasis may cause epilepsy has been suggested for a long time, but thus far, an etiological link has not been universally accepted. The objective of this review is to critically appraise the relationship between&...
