Abstract

The clinical spectrum of Toxoplasma gondii infection ranges from no symptoms to a syndrome of fever and lymphadenopathy to diffuse multisystem organ involvement. Lymphadenopathy occurs in 10% to 20% of acute cases and may be accompanied by constitutional symptoms. The differential diagnosis is broad, considering the diverse presentation. Symptomatic toxoplasmosis occurs with increased frequency in patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that display defects in cell-mediated immunity. We present a case of toxoplasmic lymphadenitis clinically presenting as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and briefly review the literature.
