RESUMO
Lymphoglandular toxoplasmosis has a reputation for mimicking several other diseases, especially infectious mononucleosis. Thus, the correct diagnosis often is not discovered until common conditions have been ruled out and the patient has been subjected to excisional lymph node biopsy. The physician who considers toxoplasmosis early and orders appropriate serologic tests can spare the patient unnecessary surgery.

A case of extreme asphyxia and acidemia secondary to mechanical obstruction of the tracheobronchial tree with sand and gravel is described.

Survival with no neurologic sequelae after such profound physiologic disturbance has not, to our knowledge, previously been described.
