Abstract

A 23-month old female with hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome underwent allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), complicated by development of acute exotropia. Bilateral chorioretinal scars and a ring enhancing brain lesion were identified in further workup. Disseminated toxoplasmosis post-allogeneic HCT was subsequently confirmed by serologic and polymerase chain reaction testing results.

Keywords: allogeneic; hematopoietic cell transplant; toxoplasmosis.
