title: [Toxoplasma encephalitis in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome].
abstract: Several outbreaks of fatal opportunistic infections and tumors have recently been reported among homosexual men in the United States. Almost all patients had evidence of cellular immunodeficiency. We have studied a French homosexual man with fatal central nervous system toxoplasmosis. Morphological features (light and electron microscopy) of toxoplasma encephalitis are described.
