1. Cerebral toxoplasmosis with neurological co-infection in people living with AIDS/HIV: results of a prospective cohort in São Paulo, Brazil
Resumo Antecedentes Coinfecções neurológicas em pessoas que vivem com HIV/AIDS (PVHA) é um tema que não foi suficientemente avaliado em estudos clínicos prospectivos. Nosso objetivo foi identificar as características clínicas e os desfechos de PVHA com toxoplasmose cerebral e coinfecções neurológicas. Métodos Estudo prospectivo de coorte observ

2. Study of brainstem auditory evoked potentials in early diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis,
Resumo Introdução: A toxoplasmose congênita é uma doença infecciosa com grande prevalência nos países tropicais. Caracteriza-se por sequelas neurológicas, oftalmológicas e auditivas. Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar e descrever o potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico em bebês de 1 a 3 meses diagnosticados com toxoplasmose

3. Trends in overall opportunistic illnesses, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cerebral toxoplasmosis andMycobacterium avium complex incidence rates over the 30 years of the HIV epidemic: a systematic review
BACKGROUND: The natural history of HIV infection has changed dramatically after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Currently, opportunistic illnesses still represent a major cause of death and hospitalization in this population. In this study, we review the trends in opportunistic illnesses incidence rates and compare the results obse

5. Features to validate cerebral toxoplasmosis
Introduction Neurotoxoplasmosis (NT) sometimes manifests unusual characteristics. Methods We analyzed 85 patients with NT and AIDS according to clinical, cerebrospinal fluid, cranial magnetic resonance, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) characteristics. Results In 8.5%, focal neurological deficits were absent and 16.4% had single cerebral lesions. Inc

6. Neurotoxoplasmose : diagnóstico molecular, resposta imune e relação com transtornos mentais / Neurotoxoplasmosis : molecular diagnosis, immune response and relationship with mental disorders
A neurotoxoplasmose é considerada uma grave complicação em pacientes com comprometimento do sistema imune e em crianças congenitamente infectadas pelo Toxoplasma gondii. O presente estudo abordou três aspectos da neurotoxoplasmose, o diagnóstico molecular, a resposta imune e a relação desta infecção com transtornos mentais. Com relação ao diagnó

7. Importance of high IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii titers and PCR detection of T. gondii DNA in peripheral blood samples for the diagnosis of AIDS-related cerebral toxoplasmosis: a case-control study
BACKGROUND: Cerebral toxoplasmosis (CT) continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in Brazil. In clinical practice, the initial diagnosis is usually presumptive and alternative diagnosis tools are necessary. Our objective was to evaluate whether the detection of high titers of IgG anti-Toxop

8. Molecular diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis: comparing markers that determine Toxoplasma gondii by PCR in peripheral blood from HIV-infected patients
As cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common cerebral focal lesion in AIDS patients, this study evaluated three PCR markers for diagnosis, since some limitations remain present, such as low parasite levels in some clinical samples. The molecular markers were B22-B23 and Tg1-Tg2 (based on the B1 gene) and Tox4-Tox5 (non-coding fragment, repeated 200-300-fold)

9. Aplicação clínica da ultra-sonografia craniana com doppler em crianças prematuras de muito baixo peso
Transcranial Doppler sonography is the technique more designate to detect intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) among preterm. This technique evidence the most important cerebral arteries, mainly arteries the circle of Willis, obtaining blood flow arteries resistance index (RI), becoming upset in cranial hemorrhage and hypoxic-

10. Non tuberculous mycobacteria and toxoplasma co-infection of the central nervous system in a patient with AIDS
New-onset seizures are frequent manifestations in patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). We describe the clinical and radiological findings in an 25yr old AIDS patient presenting with new onset seizures as the primary manifestation of cerebral toxoplasmosis and Non Tuberculous Mycobacterial [NTM] co-infection. Cranial computed tomography

11. Immunopathology in ocular toxoplasmosis: facts and clues
Although parasite-mediated host cell lysis is deemed to be an important cause of tissue destruction in ocular toxoplasmosis (OT), the severity of the disease is probably correlated with hypersensitivity and inflammation. Notwithstanding, the mechanisms that regulate the inflammatory process in recurrent OT are poorly understood. Recent evidence has identifie

12. Neurotoxoplasmosis diagnosis for HIV-1 patients by real-time PCR of cerebrospinal fluid
Encephalitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii is the most common cause of central nervous system damage in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Toxoplasma may infect any of the brain cells, thus leading to non-specific neurotoxoplasmosis clinical manifestations including focused or non-focused signs and symptoms of central nervous system malfu
