A case of histological diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii myositis in a person living with HIV.
We report the case of a 58-year-old male with a recent diagnosis of HIV infection admitted for progressive muscular weakness and psychomotor impairment. Cerebrospinal examination documented a mild hyperproteinorrachia, with normal cells count and reduced glycorrhachia. Brain gadolinium-enhanced MRI showed bilateral T2 and FLAIR hyperintensities in the nucleo-capsular region and irregular contrast-enhancement of the globi pallidi and the right putamen. The histologic analysis of a quadriceps biopsy showed several foci of inflammatory infiltrates with concomitant muscular fiber atrophy and degeneration. Scattered intracytoplasmic inclusions were observed in muscle fibers, representing the main pathological feature. A positive PCR for Toxoplasma gondii and a Toxoplasma gondii specific monoclonal antibody immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis.
期刊介绍：
The Journal publishes original papers, in Italian or in English, on topics concerning aetiopathogenesis, prevention, epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical features and therapy of infections, whose acceptance is subject to the referee’s assessment. The Journal is of interest not only to infectious disease specialists, microbiologists and pharmacologists, but also to internal medicine specialists, paediatricians, pneumologists, and to surgeons as well. The Editorial Board includes experts in each of the above mentioned fields.
