ABSTRACT
This study was carried on 42 patients with meningoencephalitis who had negative C. S. F. cultures for common pathogenic bacteria. The percentage of seropositive Toxoplasma antibodies [lgG] using Indirect Immuo Flourescent Assay was 10/42 [26%]. The clinical presentation and C. S. F. changes with high antibody titres were encountered. The results may incriminate toxopIasmosis as an etiologic agent for meningoencephalitis
