Abstract
SINCE the first reports of adult toxoplasmosis by Pinkerton and Weinman1 in 1940 and Pinkerton and Henderson2 in 1941, this disease has become increasingly more interesting to the internist. Although serologic evidence and histories of mothers of toxoplasmic infants indicate that toxoplasma infection is usually subclinical or asymptomatic, we do know that a wide spectrum of disease may be caused by this parasite. There are on record a small number of fatal cases of adult toxoplasmosis, as well as numerous reports of milder syndromes. In addition, chronic ocular toxoplasmosis has been demonstrated to be an important cause of chorioretinitis.History . . .Keywords
