Title: Toxic ‘Toxo’ in the heart: Cardiac toxoplasmosis following a hematopoietic stem cell transplant- a case report Cord-id: u83aioqb Document date: 2021_7_5
ID: u83aioqb
Snippet: Toxoplasmosis is a rare but potentially severe complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Toxoplasma gondii-associated cardiac involvement can cause myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure. Most cases with cardiac toxoplasmosis following BMT have been fatal and diagnosed at autopsy. We present an unfortunate case of sudden onset congestive heart failure symptoms and delayed post-transplant Toxoplasma PCR testing that ultimately led to the diagn
Document: Toxoplasmosis is a rare but potentially severe complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Toxoplasma gondii-associated cardiac involvement can cause myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure. Most cases with cardiac toxoplasmosis following BMT have been fatal and diagnosed at autopsy. We present an unfortunate case of sudden onset congestive heart failure symptoms and delayed post-transplant Toxoplasma PCR testing that ultimately led to the diagnosis of cardiac toxoplasmosis on autopsy in our patient.
