    Author: Shiojiri D, Kinai E, Teruya K, Kikuchi Y, Oka S.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2019 Apr; 25(4):841-843. PubMed ID: 30882331.
    Abstract:
    Current standard therapies for toxoplasmic encephalitis often cause severe adverse events. A 57-year-old HIV-positive man in Japan who had toxoplasmic encephalitis but was intolerant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, and atovaquone was successfully treated with the combination of clindamycin and azithromycin. This drug combination can be an alternative treatment for this condition.
