ABSTRACT
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii. It can be lethal in immunocompromised hosts, such as a transplant recipients or patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. In solid organ transplant recipients, toxoplasmosis results mainly from transmission of the parasite with an allograft in cases of serological mismatch. Toxoplasmosis in an immunocompromised host is associated with high mortality. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment is very important. We report on a case of toxoplasmosis in a 51-year-old male patient who had undergone deceased donor kidney transplantation. He suffered from fever of unknown origin. He was finally diagnosed with toxoplasmosis, and treated successfully with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole.
