Toxoplasmosis is an opportunistic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii (TG), which affects one third of the global human population and commonly involves central nervous system (CNS)/brain despite so-called CNS immune privilege. Symptomatic clinical disease TG much more associated with immunodeficiency; clinicopathological manifestations toxoplasmosis are linked to individual responses includi...

The aim of this study was to detect the relationship between Toxoplasmosis, Cytomegalovirus infections and occurrence abortion. records 173 aborted women age less than twenty years fifty old attending hospital Samaraa general from October 2015 April 2016 were reviewed. Investigation by using VIDAS technique represented that T. Gondii antibodies showed in 54(31.2 %) ,while 23(13.3 infected with ...

In this paper, we construct a generalized epidemiological mathematical model to study toxoplasmosis dynamics, taking into consideration both cat and mouse populations. The incorporates proportions for the congenital transmission in populations, along with oocysts available environment. We focus on determining conditions under which can be eradicated. conduct stability analysis order reveal dyna...

Manusia dapat tertular melalui Feses kucing mengandung ookista gondii, sehingga pemelihara membutuhkan pengetahuan tentang dan pencegahan penularan toksoplasmosis.

BACKGROUND Latent toxoplasmosis, the life-long presence of dormant stages of Toxoplasma in immunoprivileged organs and of anamnestic IgG antibodies in blood, affects about 30% of humans. Infected subjects have an increased incidence of various disorders, including schizophrenia. Several studies, as well as the character of toxoplasmosis-associated disturbance of neurotransmitters, suggest that ...

BACKGROUND Well-documented outbreaks of human toxoplasmosis infection are infrequently reported. Here, we describe a community outbreak of multivisceral toxoplasmosis that occurred in Patam, a Surinamese village near the French Guianan border. METHODS From the end of December 2003 through the middle of January 2004, 5 adult patients in Patam, including 2 pregnant women, were initially hospita...

Four patients with toxoplasmosis are reported with unusual presenting ocular lesions. One patient had an active lesion that appeared to involve the optic nerve as well as focal toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis at the macula. A second patient had a pale optic nerve in association with the classical chorioretinal scars of toxoplasmosis. The third patient had toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis of the macu...

The behavior of CSF inflammatory pattern in patients with AIDS and/or toxoplasmosis of the CNS is studied in 176 patients, divided in three groups. In the first group, 96 patients with toxoplasmosis and AIDS are considered; in the second group, 50 patients with toxoplasmosis without AIDS; in the third group, 30 AIDS patients without toxoplasmosis nor any other opportunistic infection. It is pos...

BACKGROUND: Toxoplasmosis is a protozoan parasitic infection. The cerebrospinal, ocular and congenital forms of the disease are complicated and life threatening. Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is difficult due to invasive sample requirement, complications in pathogenesis, immunology, and interpretation of test results. Using urine as a non invasive sample source for molecular diagnosis of toxoplasm...

BACKGROUND Toxoplasmosis is an uncommon disease in immunocompetent people. CASE CHARACTERISTICS We report an adolescent boy with central nervous system toxoplasmosis who presented with progressive lower cranial nerve palsies and a ring-enhancing lesion on neuroimaging. INTERVENTION Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis was confirmed on histopathology of the excised lesion. MESSAGE Toxoplasmosis shou...
