We describe the presentation and treatment of a patient who developed ongoing fever and diagnosed with disseminated toxoplasmosis post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. He was initially treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and there was dramatic improvement in his fever curve. He successfully completed a modified course of therapy.
