Abstract

Introduction: Patients with immunosuppression have an increased incidence of toxoplasmosis characterized by involvement of the central nervous system. Only a few cases of toxoplasmosis associated with immunosuppressive agents have been reported. Such cases have been reported in immune suppressed patients outside the Iran, but a search of the literature has not revealed any previous reports from this country. Case Presentation: We described a 17- year -old male, a known case of Hodgkin’s lymphoma with the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) toxoplasmosis. Conclusions: As a conclusion, CNS toxoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of immunosuppressed patients who present with neurological manifestations.
