• Infectious Mononucleosis

  A symptomatic infection most often produces swollen glands in the neck and armpits (which may result in the mistaken diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis); other symptoms may include fatigue, malaise, muscle pain and a fluctuating low fever. [web.archive.org]

  A few of these also have a mild flu-like syndrome of fever, malaise, myalgia, hepatosplenomegaly, and less commonly, pharyngitis, which can mimic infectious mononucleosis and include lymphadenitis. [merck.com]

  When symptoms do occur, they are usually mild, resembling infectious mononucleosis, and include the following: enlarged lymph nodes muscle pains intermittent fever general sick feeling The distinction is made between acquired toxoplasmosis, in which an [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Lymphadenopathy and asthenia may persist for several weeks, mimicking infectious mononucleosis, especially since monocytosis can be observed on blood smears. [doi.org]

  A 24-year-old woman with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was admitted with septic fever of unknown origin and a 2-week history of diarrhea. Clinical diagnostic procedures did not reveal the cause of sepsis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  A 33-year-old man with AIDS presented with fever, nightsweats, generalized lymphadenopathy, and a 30 Ib. weight loss. An inguinal lymph node biopsy was performed. [va.gov]

• Refractory Shock

  We describe a 58-year-old man who died of refractory shock because of disseminated toxoplasmosis. The diagnosis was only made postmortem on autopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Seizure

  For example, a person who is HIV-infected and who has reactivated Toxoplasma infection can have symptoms that include fever, confusion, headache, seizures, nausea, and poor coordination. [cdc.gov]

• Bradykinesia

  Parkinsonism symptoms such as muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, tremor, and postural instability were initial manifestations. Magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse symmetrical lesions of bilateral basal ganglia lacking ringed enhancement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Postural Instability

  Parkinsonism symptoms such as muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, tremor, and postural instability were initial manifestations. Magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse symmetrical lesions of bilateral basal ganglia lacking ringed enhancement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Mild Cognitive Impairment

  She had initially manifested with retinochoroiditis without vitritis, mild cognitive impairment and an isolated lung mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pulmonary Infiltrate

  Clinical features included pulmonary infiltrates, respiratory insufficiency and neurological signs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  infiltrates has been described in HIV-infected patients.(20,22) Diagnosis T gondii infection is detected by serologic studies. [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]

• Immunoglobulin A Decreased

  There was clinical evidence of both humoral and cellular immunologic incompetence, such as depressed levels of complement and immunoglobulins, and decreased T cell reactivity, respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypertriglyceridemia

  An immunocompetent patient was presented with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, hypertriglyceridemia, hypofibrinogenemia, and hyperferritinemia, which conformed to a hemophagocytic syndrome diagnosis. [ajtmh.org]

Since effective treatment of toxoplasmosis is available, the occurrence of this rare form of toxoplasmosis should be kept in mind. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although a rare event in heart transplant recipients, Toxoplasma reactivation must be investigated promptly, since early treatment improves the prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] of Toxoplasmosis is dependent upon the health status of an individual; in those with poor immune system, the prognosis is guarded Adequate preventive steps for Toxoplasmosis may include consuming well-cooked meat and drinking clean water. [dovemed.com]

Prognosis Most cases in immunocompetent healthy individuals remain subclinical or resolve spontaneously. The prognosis in AIDS patients was poor but has improved considerably since the advent of ART (also called HAART) [ 31 ]. [patient.info]

Toxoplasmosis in AIDS may present with extra-neural manifestations and may be an etiologic agent for NS in some patients with AIDS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The odds ratio of 2.73, although modest, exceeds that for most genetic studies and suggests that T. gondii may play some etiological role in a large number of cases. [doi.org]
