title: Late cerebral relapse of congenital toxoplasmosis.
abstract: Focal encephalitis occurred in a girl with activation of chorioretinitis which on clinical and serological grounds was taken to be caused by toxoplasma. The encephalitis and acute ocular inflammation resolved with treatment with pyrimethamine and sulphadiazine. This is presumably an example of reactivation of congenital cerebral toxoplasmosis.
