TL;DR
A rare case of neuro-toxoplasmosis is reported after a stem cell transplant, highlighting the risk of protozoan infections in transplant patients.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel clinical case of neuro-toxoplasmosis following a haploidentical stem cell transplant.
Findings
Neuro-toxoplasmosis occurred post-haploidentical stem cell transplant.
Protozoan reactivation is a rare but life-threatening complication in transplant recipients.
Abstract
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant is a routine procedure for several haematological disorders though infections are the main cause of morbidity and mortality. Rare infections, such as protozoan reactivations, can be life-threatening and clinicians should be aware of these possibilities. Herein, we present a case of neuro-toxoplasmosis post haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplant.
