Disseminated toxoplasmosis is a life-threatening disease in liver transplant recipients that can result from an organ-transmitted infection. We report here a case of fatal disseminated toxoplasmosis after orthotopic liver transplantation from a seropositive donor (immunoglobulin G IgG and IgM(-)) in a patient who was nonimmune for toxoplasmosis prior to transplantation. Quantitative PCR analyses of various clinical specimens, including serum samples, appeared retrospectively to be a valuable diagnostic tool that might guide therapeutic attitudes.
播散性弓形虫病在肝移植受者中是一种危及生命的疾病,可由器官传播感染引起。我们在此报告一例原位肝移植后发生的致命性播散性弓形虫病病例,供者为血清学阳性(免疫球蛋白GIgG且IgM(-)),而受者在移植前对弓形虫病无免疫力。对包括血清样本在内的各种临床标本进行的定量PCR分析,回顾性来看似乎是一种有价值的诊断工具,可能会指导治疗策略。
