DAVILA, Victoria et al. Disseminated toxoplasmosis in a heart transplant patient despite cotrimoxazole prophylaxis: A case report. Biomédica [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.3, pp.303-307. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v34i2.3189.

We report the case of a 61 year-old male who underwent heart transplantation eight months before developing a systemic condition with central nervous system, lung, kidney, colonic, cutaneous, and hematologic involvement, found to be secondary to a systemic toxoplasmosis despite co-trimoxazole prophylaxis in a previous-to-transplant seronegative patient receiving a heart from a seropositive donor. A review of prophylactic options in our environment is discussed.

Palabras clave : Toxoplasmosis; heart transplantation; immune tolerance; seroconversion.
