  • Title: [Meningoencephalic and chorioretinal manifestations of toxoplasmosis in an immunodeficient patient].
    Author: Launais B, Laurent G, Benchekroun S, Moulin JJ, Pris J, Bec P, Monnier J.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1983 Jan 06; 59(1):40-2. PubMed ID: 6297085.
    Abstract:
    With reference to a case of malignant toxoplasmosis in a patient with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy, the following features are recalled: in compromised hosts, clinical manifestations of malignant toxoplasmosis are highly variable, with neurologic signs and fever being predominant; the occurrence of lesions of the fundus, such as chorioretinitis, is an essential clue to the diagnosis; serologic tests for toxoplasmosis should be performed routinely at each stage of the disease in order to ascertain seroconversion through comparison with baseline results.
