Daftar Isi:
- Toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) is caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. Disease appears to occur almost exclusively because of reactivation of latent tissue cysts. Toxoplasmosis is the leading cause of focal central nervous system (CNS) disease in HIV/AIDS. CNS toxoplasmosisin HIV-infected patients is usually a complication of the late phase of the disease. Primary infection occasionally is associated with acute cerebral or disseminated disease. Human infection occurs through contact with a protozoal in different forms (bradyzoite, tachyzoites, sporulated oocyst containing sporozoite or cyst containing bradyzoite) and through different ways of transmission: congenital, organ transplants, parenteral; occupational infection is rare and oral infection occurs more frequently. The objective of the article was to provide neurologists and others with evidence-based guidelins for the diagnosis and treatment of toxoplasmosis enchephalitis.
