Doença das meninges e do cérebro, causada por uma infecção pelo parasita protozoário Toxoplasma gondii. Esta doença é caracterizada por convulsões, dor no pescoço, déficits neurológicos ou alterações em comportamento, cognição ou consciência. A transmissão ocorre por disseminação hematogênica para as meninges e cérebro após a ingestão direta de alimentos contaminados, ou transmissão indireta por consumo de alimentos ou água contaminados com fezes de gato infectadas. A confirmação é feita pela detecção de anticorpos contra Toxoplasma gondii no líquido cefalorraquidiano ou identificação de Toxoplasma gondii no líquido cefalorraquidiano e exames avançados de imagem do sistema nervoso. | |||
