Onchocerciasis‐associated epilepsy: From recent epidemiological and clinical findings to policy implications

A high prevalence of epilepsy is reported in many onchocerciasis‐endemic regions. In this paper we discuss recent epidemiological and clinical aspects as well as public health implications of onchocerciasis‐associated epilepsy (OAE) and propose a strategy to reduce the burden of disease. OAE probabl...
