Descriptor	toxoplasmosis cerebral
Entry term(s)	neurotoxoplasmosis toxoplasmosis del sistema nervioso central toxoplasmosis intracraneal
Scope note:	Infecciones del CEREBRO producidas por el protozoo TOXOPLASMA gondii, que afecta principalmente a individuos con SÍNDROMES DE INMUNODEFICIENCIA (ver también INFECCIONES OPORTUNISTAS RELACIONADAS CON EL SIDA). La infección puede afectar al cerebro de forma difusa o formar abcesos diferenciados. Clínicamente se manifiestan por CONVULSIONES, alteraciones mentales, cefaleas, déficits neurológicos focales e HIPERTENSIÓN INTRACRANEAL. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1998, Ch27, pp. 41-3)

Scope note:

Infections of the BRAIN caused by the protozoan TOXOPLASMA gondii that primarily arise in individuals with IMMUNOLOGIC DEFICIENCY SYNDROMES (see also AIDS-RELATED OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS). The infection may involve the brain diffusely or form discrete abscesses. Clinical manifestations include SEIZURES, altered mentation, headache, focal neurologic deficits, and INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1998, Ch27, pp41-3)
