Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic protozoal disease characterized by a chronic course, polymorphism of clinical manifestations, predominant damage to the central nervous system, organs of vision, liver and lungs. The causative agent of the disease is the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which circulates widely in the external environment and has a large circle of intermediate hosts. Toxoplasmosis is classified by the method of infection (congenital or acquired), by pathogenesis (acute or chronic), by manifestation (latent or with the manifestation of symptoms). According to the state of the human immune system, the disease can occur without immunodeficiency, while the patient has a chronic lifelong carrier, and with immunodeficiency. People with HIV most commonly present with cerebral toxoplasmosis. The article presents a case of the development of toxoplasmosis in a patient in the absence of a burdened history.
