Abstract
Dos Santos, Neto, João Gustavo: Toxoplasmosis. A historical review, direct diagnostic microscopy, and report of a case. Am J Clin Pathol 63: 909–915, 1975. A case of congenital toxoplasmosis diagnosed by the detection of Toxoplasma gondii organisms in the ventricular fluid of a living patient, confirmed by mouse inoculation, is reported. The subject of toxoplasmosis is reviewed historically, especially in regard to cases diagnosed by direct microscopic examination of cerebrospinal or ventricular fluids. Although several sufch cases have been reported in the world medical literature, an extensive survey failed to reveal such a case previously reported in the United States.Keywords
