Abstract:
A 39-yerar-old man was admitted to our hospital with behavioral disturbances and generalized headaches. He was diagnosed with CNS toxoplasmosis after performing a brain biopsy. He found to be HIV positive with a CD4 of 14/uL He was started on ant toxoplasmosis along with antiretroviral therapy. He presented 6 weeks after discharge with worsening headache thought to be related to relapse of toxoplasmosis. However, he found to have severe anemia related to CMV-induced gastrointestinal bleeding. He was started on anti-cytomegalovirus drugs and has finally achieved significant improvement.
