Abstract

The clinical manifestations of acquired toxoplasmosis in the immunocompetent patient rarely include localized neurological signs, which are frequent in the immunosuppressed patient (Aids). The objective of this paper is to report the case of a woman with Toxoplasma gondii brain abscess, without an identified cause of immunosuppression.
