  • Title: [Brain toxoplasmosis: from a case disclosing AIDS. Recall of diagnostic, developmental and therapeutic elements].
    Author: Jourdan C, Guérin JM, Artru F, Lamy B, Grau A, Huppert J, Pialat J, Etienne J.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1986; 32(3):248-53. PubMed ID: 3762838.
    Abstract:
    The authors are studying from a personal case revealing an AIDS, and from bibliographical cases, the treated evolution of toxoplasmic encephalitis in immuno-depressed patients and the elements of the diagnosis. They are insisting on the interest of the brain biopsy, and on the importance of the inflammatory brain oedema. The therapy consists on sulfamides and anti-oedematous drugs. They are thinking that the corticosteroids must be avoided. The evolution of cerebral lesions, seen on the repeated computed tomographies is often good but the prognosis remains bad according to the immuno-deficiency.
