The differential diagnosis of the clinical syndrome of glandular fever may include Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus and Toxoplasma gondii infection. Some general practitioners and clinical laboratories choose to perform serological investigations for toxoplasmosis in all patients with glandular
Two cases of acquired toxoplasmosis are reported in 16 and 44 year old patients; prolonged fever was the dominating sign in both cases. It follows from these observations that toxoplasmosis has to be systematically considered as a possible etiology of prolonged fever of undetermined origin.
We report two cases of prolonged fever in deeply immunocompromised patients with AIDS who had been receiving trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) as primary prophylaxis for several months. Investigations of the cause of fever yielded normal or negative findings except that the polymerase chain
Disseminated toxoplasmosis presenting as a prolonged febrile illness is rare in immunocompetent individuals. We report a probable case of acquired toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent woman who presented with fever of 6 months duration with lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. The diagnosis was
439 sera of domestic animals and various number (150-500) of human sera of the Cape Verde Islands were examined for antibodies against Coxiella burnetti, Brucella abortus, B.melitensis, Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella dysenteriae, S.flexneri, S. boydii, S.sonnei, Campylobacter jejuni, C.fetus ssp.
Infections with 4 strains of Toxoplasma gondii were studied in mice and hamsters. In mice, infections with strains RH, T-1, and T-45 were always fatal, but strain ts-4 infection was not (ie, the mice survived). In hamsters, the RH strain always gave rise to a fatal infection and the T-1 strain
Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii. In Switzerland about a third of the population has antibodies against this pathogen and has thus already been in contact with the parasite or has contracted the disease. Immunocompetent patients are
