The African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control estimates there are currently 36 million people with onchocerciasis [25]. [...]if 1% (equivalent to the approximate excess prevalence over non-endemic areas [22]) were to develop epilepsy, the number of excess cases of epilepsy due to onchocerciasis would be on the order of 360,000. Acknowledgments We thank the African Field Epidemiology Network and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for assisting with the June 2012 NS and convulsive epilepsy census in Uganda, and we thank Médecins Sans Frontières, the University of Kisangani (and the Centre de surveillance de la biodiversité [Biodiversity monitoring centre]), and the Ministry of Health of the Province Oriental, Democratic Republic of the Congo, for their support to investigate the epilepsy situation in Titule. |
