Pyrexia of Unknown Origin Caused by Toxoplasmosis: A Rare Case Report

Description

Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes infection in up to one-third of the world's population. It is essential to document every such case for the education of the clinicians for better treatment of the affected individuals. Case presentation: We present a 50-year-old individual of Bangladeshi lineage who presented as pyrexia of unknown origin who was ultimately diagnosed as acute Toxoplasmosis. The patient was treated conservatively with a range of antibiotics, he gradually became clinically and hemodynamically stable and was released. Conclusion: The case highlights the importance of extensive diagnostic measures for assessing the actual cause of the disease, as the presentation will be mostly non-specific. Such cases enhance the knowledge of the practitioners for implying proper diagnosis and offering effective treatment to the patients.
