Solitary ring enhancing brain lesion in a patient with AIDS.

Taha Aldeen1, Michael Lunn.   

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis in immune competent patients usually causes asymptomatic infection or mild symptoms, while in immunocompromised and AIDS patients it can be a life threatening condition. We report a case of cerebral toxoplasmosis in a patient with AIDS and review the causes of brain ring enhancing lesions.
