Worldwide, approximately 2 billion people are chronically infected with T. gondii with largely unknown consequences. This review presents clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis, triggering factors, treatment, and pathomechanisms responsible for idiopathic intracranial hypertension, pseudotumor
Background: The impact of infectious agents, such as Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), on human behavior and mental disorders has recently attracted the attention of researchers. T. gondii has emerged as a suitable candidate for such
OBJECTIVE
To establish seroprevalence and provide characteristics of Toxoplasma gondii (TG) infection in children with recurrent headaches.
METHODS
The study was performed in 178 children aged 7-17 years admitted consecutively to the Department of Pediatric Neurology from November 2009 to July 2011.
Headache and/or migraine, a common problem in pediatrics and internal medicine, affect about 5% to 10% children and adolescents, and nearly 30% of middle-aged women. Headache is also one of the most common clinical manifestations of acquired Toxoplasma gondii infection of the central nervous system
UNASSIGNED
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) can disseminate to brain in infected hosts. Little is known about the magnitude of the association between this infection and headache. Therefore, we sought to determine the association of T. gondii seropositivity and headache in patients attending
Approximately two billion people worldwide are chronically infected with T. gondii and yet with largely unknown consequences. On the other hand, several authors reported an association between migraine and patent foramen ovale (PFO), and different types of headaches, including migraine, may be
We report the case of a 30-year-old man with known HIV-positive status who developed, 4 months prior to admission, recurrent left partial motor seizures followed by left hemiparesis. At another hospital, contrasted CT scan of the head revealed right frontal hypodense lesion with mass effect and
BACKGROUND
Cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common cause of space occupying brain lesion in patients with HIV/AIDS in Brazil. In the post-HAART era, it is responsible for high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
METHODS
This study consists of a case series of 56 patients diagnosed with
We report an unusual clinical presentation of toxoplasmosis. Fever and headache were the only complaints of a 48-year-old immunocompetent man who was found to have a rash, hepatitis and a pericardial effusion. Lymphadenopathy was not present. Evolving atypical lymphocytosis was the clue to the
A 28-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of red eye, photophobia, pain and decreased visual acuity of the right eye. The ophthalmological examination revealed hypertensive non-granulomatous panuveitis, retinal vasculitis with focus of retinochoroiditis with pigmented central area suggestive
To define the causes, clinical significance and characteristics of headaches in HIV-1-related disorders, we studied 49 consecutive HIV-1 infected patients who presented with headache. Work-up included CT scans, cerebrospinal fluid examinations (in the absence of a contraindication) and serologic
The authors present 17 cases of symptomatic acute toxoplasmosis acquired by the ingestion of raw mutton offered during a party in September 1993. The incubation period carried from 6 to 13 days (10.9 +/- 7.0). Sixteen (94.5%) patients presented fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, and adenopathy
Toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasmosis is generally a late complication of HIV infection and usually occurs in patients with CD4 + T-cell counts below 200/μl. Co-trimoxazole (trimethoprim plus sulfamethoxazole) is the most
Toxoplasmosis is the most common opportunistic infection of the central nervous system in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Clinical presentation of cerebral toxoplasmosis in these patients includes headache, focal neurological deficits and seizures. Prompt diagnosis and
