Taeniasis, caused by infection with Taenia saginata or Taenia solium, occurs on Bali due to the consumption of
undercooked beef and pork, respectively. Fieldwork conducted on Bali from 2002-2007, identified 69 taeniasis cases
due to T. saginata. In August 2007, three T. saginata tapeworm carriers in the Gianyar district of Bali were treated with
a single dose of praziquantel. Within a few hours of treatment, a 47 year old man had a seizure and was admitted
to a hospital in the city of Denpasar. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed two cystic lesions in the man’s
brain. Serology showed specific antibody responses to T. solium metacestode antigens. The patient was, therefore,
diagnosed with a dual infection of T. solium neurocysticercosis (NCC) and T. saginata taeniasis. This case report
is illustrative of the risk of veiled NCC in areas where T. saginata and T. solium are co-endemic. As globalization
increases, the possibility of co-infections will continue to rise and researchers and physicians participating in mass
drug administration programs will need to be vigilant in their monitoring for adverse effects
