Fatal CNS toxoplasmosis in a homosexual man

Neurology. 1983 Jul;33(7):926-7. doi: 10.1212/wnl.33.7.926.

Abstract

A compromised cellular immunity associated with an increased frequency of tumors and fatal opportunistic infections has recently been reported in homosexual men. We studied a homosexual man with fatal CNS toxoplasmosis to emphasize the value of CT in CNS toxoplasmosis and to alert neurologists to potentially curable opportunistic infections.
