Toxoplasmosis is caused by the protozoan parasite (), which is one of the most widespread zoonotic pathogens known today. It is a global health hazard as they infect 30-50% of the world's human population. Acute toxoplasmosis is usually asymptomatic and self-limited in immunocompetent people, recovering without treatment and do not require specific therapy. Therefore, rare complications are associated with infection in the individuals with normal immune systems. However, we present a rare case of an immunocompetent man with acute infection confirmed by serology, subsequently presented with two life-threatening organ dysfunctions: severe renal and pulmonary involvement, requiring hospitalization and anti-parasitic treatment.
弓形虫病由原生动物寄生虫（）引起，它是当今已知分布最广泛的人畜共患病原体之一。它是一种全球健康危害，因为全球30%-50%的人口受到其感染。急性弓形虫病在免疫功能正常的人群中通常无症状且具有自限性，无需治疗即可康复，也不需要特殊治疗。因此，免疫系统正常的个体感染后很少出现并发症。然而，我们报告了一例罕见病例，一名免疫功能正常的男性经血清学确诊为急性感染，随后出现了两种危及生命的器官功能障碍：严重的肾脏和肺部受累，需要住院治疗和抗寄生虫治疗。
