- Abstract
- Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that typically manifests as multiple brain lesions of varying sizes. Toxoplasmosis
usually causes neurological complications in immunocompromised patients while it is mostly asymptomatic
in healthy subjects. A 19-year-old Peruvian woman presented with seizure, and MRI of the brain disclosed a nodular
lesion in the left parietal lobe. This case of toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient required extensive
differential diagnoses and treatments. Key Words: Toxoplasmosis, Seizure
