title: Cerebellar Toxoplasmosis in an Immunocompetent Patient with G6PD Deficiency.
abstract: We report a case of an immunocompetent patient who presented with a short history of unilateral cerebellar lesion later proven as toxoplasmosis on histopathology. The case highlights that patients with G6PD deficiency are more prone to develop fatal toxoplasma infections than those individuals with normal G6PD activity.
