Congenital toxoplasmosis is sometimes difficult to diagnose clinically and histologically, since it can present in diversified forms. The present report deals with a rare type of toxoplasma infection that resulted in a stillborn with hydrops fetales and extensive fetal placental calcification. The
We have described an infant born with severe hydrops fetalis due to congenital toxoplasmosis. Although uncommon, toxoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hydrops fetalis, particularly when the preliminary clinical work-up suggests a nonimmunologic basis for the hydrops.
We report a female patient with congenital toxoplasmosis who presented with hydrops fetalis and cerebral abnormalities, detected on fetal ultrasound. Following prenatal treatment, the hydrops fetalis resolved and at four months of age she has normal growth and development. This case emphasizes the
Of 60 attacks of ocular toxoplasmosis, in 37 (62%) no apparent macular problems were demonstrated on inspection, in seven (12%) active retinitis was evident within 5 degrees of the umbo, and in seven (12%) some evidence was shown of mild macular edema; severe edema, such as cystoid macular edema,
OBJECTIVE
Cerebral toxoplasmosis remains a common neurologic complication in patients with AIDS. In this study, we aimed to characterize the prognosis of patients with HIV infection with severe forms of cerebral toxoplasmosis and to investigate the effects of adjunctive steroids on
Multiple CNS infections can coexist in advanced AIDS, but are most commonly reported in autopsy case studies. We describe the case of an HIV+ individual, who was first diagnosed with CNS toxoplasmosis, confirmed by brain biopsy. After initiation of combined anti-retroviral therapy (cART) and
Toxoplasmosis was clinically diagnosed in two dogs of 4 and respectively 18 months. A seven-day treatment remained inefficient and the animals died. Autopsy revealed a global inflammation of the lung, with necrotic lesions of bronchial lymph nodes and acute hyperplastic reaction of the spleen.
BACKGROUND
Neuroretinitis (NR) is considered to be an inflammatory condition which is characterized by optic disc edema and, as a result, formation of a macular star figure. NR is an atypical presentation of toxoplasmosis infection, and such cases are quite rare.
METHODS
A 13-year-old girl presented
Submental mass secondary to toxoplasmosis is a rare condition and physicians rarely consider its diagnosis. The presented case reports a 43-year-old woman referred with a constant, painless, edema located in the submental area for 2 weeks. Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis was established by the positive
Multimodal imaging relies on combination of multiple imaging modalities to precisely delineate pathological changes in the posterior segment of the eye associated with a wide range of conditions. This combined application of fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, fundus
OBJECTIVE
Toxoplasma gondii and parvovirus B19 (PVB19) infections in a healthy adult are usually asymptomatic. Congenital toxoplasmosis is the cause of hydrocephalus, chorioretinitis and intracranial calcifications. Hydrops remains the most common complication during the fetal PVB infection. The aim
We describe the case of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, treated by corticosteroids, who presented during two successive pregnancies with serological reactivation of toxoplasmosis associated with fetal lesions. The first infected fetus died in utero with signs of hydrops. The second
