Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Abstract Toxoplasmosis is a common opportunistic pathogen in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It usually presents with ocular, central nervous system, or pulmonary disease. Gastric toxoplasmosis is uncommon in AIDS patients, especially in the absence of central nervous system manifestations. In the few reported cases, patients have presented with abdominal pain and other digestive complaints that usually are attributed to the more common gastrointestinal manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus infection. We describe a 49-year-old man with AIDS who presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry cough, and systemic symptoms and was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis by a gastric biopsy.

Cranial Neuropathies

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections increase the risk of malignant lymphoma. Although, lymphoma is a rare cause of central nervous system involvement, it can present as an initial HIV symptom. We report the case of a 35-year-old HIV patient who developed multiple cranial neuropathies. He was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with meningeal metastasis.
