Toxoplasmic Encephalitis in Patients With Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Abstract
An epidemic of cases of toxoplasmic encephalitis is occurring in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Serological or histopathologic studies were performed on 70 cases with AIDS and toxoplasmic encephalitis. In many cases conventional stains of brain-tissue specimens failed to disclose Toxoplasma organisms; all were positive when stained by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. Except for a single patient, serological titers were not indicative of an acute acquired infection. The ratio of titers in the agglutination test to titers in the Sabin-Feldman dye test seemed to be more predictive of active toxoplasmic encephalitis in patients with AIDS than either test alone. Based on histological and serological data, an approach is presented for diagnosis and treatment of suspected toxoplasmic encephalitis in patients with AIDS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
