Abstract
Results The study included 30 patients, with HIV infection, 26 (86.7%) of them with antiretroviral treatment, while 4 (13.3%) of them without treatment. Two patients (6.66%) without antiretroviral treatment were found with protective antibody for Toxoplasma gondii, while 8 (26.66%) patients with antiretroviral treatment were found with the same antibodies. Two cases from the last category (6.66%) were diagnosed with acute forms of the disease, in which we found IgM to IgG toxoplasma seroconversion. The seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in HIV infected patients was 33.3%.
