Congenital Toxoplasmosis with Aplastic Anemia: A Rare Association
Congenital toxoplasmosis is caused by transmission of an intracellular obligate coccidian protozoan (Toxoplasma gondii) viavertical transmission during pregnancy. The clinical manifestations are wide ranging from asymptomatic to intracranialcalcifications, seizures, developmental delay, chorioretinal lesions and even fetal death. Aplastic anemia is one of the rarepresentations of congenital toxoplasmosis. Hence, we are reporting a case of a 23-year-old male who presented to us withaplastic anemia due to congenital toxoplasmosis. Thus, congenital toxoplasmosis should always be considered as a causewhen evaluating a case of aplastic anemia.
