경구 스테로이드 중단 후 발현된 류마티스관절염 환자의 신경낭미충증: 면역회피 기전과 치료 전략 = Intraparenchymal Neurocysticercosis Unmasked by Cessation of Oral Corticosteroids: Immune Evasion and Therapeutic Approaches

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In a unique case of neurocysticercosis in Korea, a 73-year-old woman previously treated with steroids for rheumatoid arthritis exhibited neurological symptoms following steroid cessation. Magnetic resonance imaging findings confirmed vesicular stage neurocysticercosis, and subsequent antiparasitic treatment led to symptom resolution. The immunopathology of neurocysticercosis involves intricate interactions between the cyst’s immune evasion mechanisms and host inflammatory responses. The parasites’ strategy of inducing Th2- mediated anti-inflammatory responses for survival suggests potential therapeutic options for autoimmune disorders.
