Hemidystonia secondary to acquired toxoplasmosis in a non-immunodeficient patient.

R Micheli1, A Perini, M Duse.   

Abstract

We discuss the unusual presentation of acquired toxoplasmosis in a girl with severe and transient hemidystonia as a unique symptom. Serum titres of anti-toxoplasma antibodies increased whereas no specific antibody response in the CSF was observed. While symptomatic drugs were inefficacious, specific anti-toxoplasmosis therapy led to complete and permanent recovery within 2 months.
