Evans blue leakage post-treatment around cysticercotic cysts in the brain from an infected pig

Appearance of the whole brain from a pig naturally infected with Taenia solium five days after praziquantel treatment and infused with Evans blue two hours prior to necropsy. The black arrows point to blue cysts with increased vascular permeability in surrounding tissues; a clear cyst with unaltered vascular permeability in surrounding tissues is indicated with a white arrow. Mahanty et al.
