Congenital toxoplasmosis from an HIV-infected woman as a result of reactivation

C Bachmeyer et al. J Infect. 2006 Feb.

Abstract

Congenital toxoplasmosis usually results from acquired infection in non-immune pregnant women. However, severely HIV-infected women with a latent Toxoplasma infection can transmit the parasite as a result of reactivation. We report a case of toxoplasmic reactivation in an HIV-infected woman with moderate immunosuppression resulting in a severe congenital toxoplasmosis.
