- The first drops of CSF after lumbar puncture will not be collected, to reduce possible contamination with microfilariae from the skin. — Exploring potential pathogenesis mechanisms of onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy through cerebrospinal fluid analysis of children with complex febrile seizures: a pilot study in Aketi, Democratic Republic of the Congo
- In Antwerp, CSF will be re-examined for O. volvulus biomarkers including OVRV1 by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. — Exploring potential pathogenesis mechanisms of onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy through cerebrospinal fluid analysis of children with complex febrile seizures: a pilot study in Aketi, Democratic Republic of the Congo
