title: A family outbreak of toxoplasmosis: a serendipitous finding.
abstract: A family outbreak of toxoplasmosis involving five members of a Lebanese family is described. We believe it to be the first reported outbreak of toxoplasmosis in Australia. Kibbi , a traditional Lebanese dish which can occasionally incorporate raw meat, may have been the source of infection. The chance occurrence of an outbreak of hepatitis A in the same family subsequently led us to discover this outbreak.
