ABSTRACT

Acquired toxoplasmosis is more frequently an unrecognized disease. Immunocompetent adults and adolescents with primary infection are generally asymptomatic, or symptoms observed may include malaise, fever, and lymphadenopathy. In contrast, immunocompromized patients may experience severe manifestation including encephalitis and multi system organ failure. We report a case of toxoplasmic hepatitis presenting with hepatomegaly in an immunocompetent patient.

Keywords: Toxoplasmic hepatitis, hepatomegaly, histopathologic and serologic diagnosis
