Acute acquired toxoplasmosis is considered a self-limited mononucleosis-like disease that rarely requires treatment. We report an unusual severe case of disseminated toxoplasmosis complicated with meningitis and pneumonia in a previously 41-year-old healthy Brazilian man. Toxoplasmosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute febrile diseases due to the non-specific clinical symptoms and the possibility of severe outcome.
急性获得性弓形虫病被认为是一种自限性单核细胞增多症样疾病,很少需要治疗。我们报告了一例不同寻常的严重播散性弓形虫病病例,该病例发生在一名41岁的既往健康的巴西男性身上,并发脑膜炎和肺炎。由于临床症状不具特异性且有出现严重后果的可能性,弓形虫病应纳入急性发热性疾病的鉴别诊断中。
