Abstract
Rapid and specific diagnosis of infections involving patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is imperative. Toxoplasmosis is one of the most frequent causes of central nervous system disease in these patients. The authors present a case of cerebral toxoplasmosis in an AIDS patient, diagnosed by electron microscopy of brain biopsy tissue using rapid techniques.Keywords
