Use of Ivermectin in Neurocysticercosis: A Case Report
Unusual setting of medical care, Rare disease
CONCLUSIONS: Despite current guidelines recommending use of albendazole with or without praziquantel for neurocysticercosis, our case (as well as 4 other cases documented in the recent past) suggest a possible use of ivermectin as potential therapy for neurocysticercosis. We recommend continued research regarding other cases of ivermectin use in similar patients and even comparison studies with albendazole with or without praziquantel in terms of efficacy and side effects in order to better treat this international endemic.Can you believe that? The doctor went against CURRENT GUIDELINES (probably the "gold standard" of care) and used IVM to treat his patient with great success. It doesn't sound like he had his license revoked, either.
Where have heard this story before? Except for getting your license revoked for even merely MENTIONING IVM or suggesting it might be efficacious, much less using it.
Why is it OK to go off-label and use IVM to treat Neurocysticercosis, but strictly verboten to do the same thing to treat COVID?
