A 47-year-old male with renal failure received a renal transplant which subsequently was rejected. After removal of the transplant the patient went into a catabolic state, and developed fever and hematochezia. The patient became septic, developed respiratory involvement. This is the eighth recorded case of central nervous system toxoplasmosis following renal transplantation.
