now a recent mri besi shows a neurocysticercosis (granuloma?) in a quiescent stage.
but the carbamazepine has started some allergic symptoms like Stevens Johnson's syndrome.

Unusual to have reaction from carbamazepine after 10 years! Is HLA B1502 test done? If the skin reaction is definitely because of CBZ, then her neurologist should change the AED to some alternative
