Abstract
Toxoplasmosis is a parasite infection caused by the obligate parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. In several types of acquired toxoplasmosis, lymph node toxoplasma is very frequent and lymphadenopathy is often the only clinical finding present.This paper describes a 31-year-old male patient who presented with swelling in the submandibular lymph nodes. He was diagnosed to have lymph node toxoplasmosis by serological investigations (IHA and IFA).The patient was treated with sulfamethoxazole 1600mg/day and trimethoprim 320mg/day for 40 days. There was a decrease in the size of the submental lymph nodes and the toxoplasma antibody titer. This infection was supposed to have been acquired from a pet cat.
