Clinical courses and outcomes of cerebral toxoplasmosis in HIV-positive patients in Shiraz, Southern Iran: a retrospective study
Physicians should be aware of the clinical course and high mortality rate of CTX in HIV-positive patients. Our findings also highlight the importance of implementing HIV screening programs, particularly for at-risk young adults. Future studies should address the limitations of this study by employing larger and more diverse samples.
