title: [Difficulties in laboratory diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis].
abstract: Toxoplasmosis is the most wide-spread parasitic disease in the Czech Republic. According to the results of serological studies, about 25-50% of its population come in contact with this protozoan. A serious form of the disease may develop in severely immunocompromised patients. In these patients, problems with diagnosing toxoplasmosis may occur, especially in the case of its rare but serious cerebral form. The aim of the case report is to present potential difficulties in the diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis.
