Toxoplasmic encephalitis in an HIV patient
2009
: Toxoplasmic encephalitis is considered one of the most frequent causes of death in HIV-positive patients. The article presents a case of a 40-year-old HIV-positive male hospitalized for surgical treatment of localized brain tumour verified by CT and MRI. Histopathologically, toxoplasmic aetiology was confirmed. Briefly, tissue toxoplasmosis represents a high risk among HIV-positive patients. Therefore, this disease must be considered in differential diagnosis of localized brain masses in HIV-positive patients.
