Abstract

Background: The obligatory parasite inside cells. The cause of toxoplasmosis is Toxoplasma gondii. Those with CD4+ T-cell counts that are less than 200 cells/l are more likely to develop toxoplasmosis, which is typically a late consequence of H.I.V. infection. Case Presentation: A 39-year-old healthy woman who had a headache and was admitted to the hospital has been diagnosed with cerebral toxoplasmosis. The right temporoparietal lobe of the brain was shown to have a Brain magnetic resonance imaging M.R.I lesion with gadolinium enhancement that is hyper-intense, ring-enhancing, and irregular. Toxoplasma-specific IgG antibody levels were higher. Brain toxoplasmosis was identified as the cause, obtained based on the characteristics of the M.R.I., the biopsy, and the serology.
