Abstract
The efficacy of primary prophylaxis with atovaquone in preventing Toxoplasma reactivation and disease in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients is unknown. We describe 2 cases of atovaquone prophylaxis failure in pre-HCT Toxoplasma-seropositive (pre-HCTSP) recipients who underwent allogeneic HCT (allo-HCT) and review the literature on atovaquone prophylaxis in HCT recipients.Entities:
