Acquired toxoplasmosis after orthotopic heart transplantation in a sulfonamide-allergic patient.

Aura Sanchez Mejia1, Mark Debrunner, Elaine Cox, Randall Caldwell.   

Abstract

We report the case of a young adult with a history of an allergic reaction to a sulfonamide antibiotic who developed toxoplasmosis after his second orthotopic heart transplant. As a result of this drug allergy, the patient did not receive prophylaxis with trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole. He was successfully treated with clindamycin, pyrimethamine, and folic acid.
