Retinitis secondary to acquired systemic toxoplasmosis with isolation of the parasite.

A 43-year-old woman developed a heterophile-negative infectious mononucleosis syndrome for which no cause was apparent. During her illness she developed subjective changes in the central vision of her right eye and had focal retinal inflammation, which suggested the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. The clinical course was accompanied by an increased titer to Toxoplasma gondii. Organisms were isolated from lymph node tissue and injected into the peritoneum of mice from which organisms were harvested.

Disseminated Herpesvirus hominis 2 infection following drug overdose.

Fatal disseminated herpesvirus hominis type 2 infection developed in a 24-year-old woman with psychiatric disease. The primary site of virus entry appeared to be the upper respiratory tract, although the cervix and anus could have been primary sites. Dissemination of infection was facilitated by steroid therapy. An endotracheal tube may have increased spread to the lower respiratory tract and an intrauterine device may have aided spread to the uterus. Intranuclear inclusion body-bearing cells in the respiratory secretions should alert the clinician to possible herpesvirus disease, local and disseminated, even in the nonimmunecompromised patient.
