Abstract

By means of complement fixation test, 234 sera from patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital, located in Presidente Prudente municipality, who were considered as high risk population for cysticercosis infection, and 454 sera
from pregnants proceeding from Santos municipality, and also 397 sera from individuals of both sexes, proceeding from Presidente Prudente were analysed. The methanol extract of Cysticercus was employed for complement fixation testo It is estimated as positive the reaction which presented reactive complement fixation as from dilution 1 :2. Twen ty seven of the 1,085 samples examined presented antícom-plementary activity. Among 1,085 sera, 17 (1,60%) were reactive; however, when the normal individual groups and the mental patients group were analysed separately, it was observed significant difference in the results. Therefore, among 824 normal individuaIs, 8 (0,97%) sera showed as reactive and among 234 sera from mental patients, 9 (3,8%) were reactive. The results gave evidence of the occurrence of anti-Cysticercus cellulosae antibodies in individuaIs from São Paulo State, mainly among psychiatric patients, in significant levels.
