    • Toxoplasma encephalitis is a severe opportunistic infection with a high mortality rate.
    • Pediatric cases of Toxoplasma encephalitis are rare but can lead to significant neurological sequelae.

    Observation:

    • A 4-year-old boy presented with symptoms indicative of encephalitis.
    • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis and imaging confirmed Toxoplasma gondii as the causative agent.

    Findings:

    • The patient received a combination therapy of pyrimethamine and sulphadimidine.
    • Complete clinical recovery was achieved with no residual neurological deficits.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment for Toxoplasma encephalitis in children.
