- Abstract
- Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease, both congenital and acquired, caused by an obligate intracellular parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii. Most immunocompetent individuals who are infected do not show any signs or symptoms of infection while in immunocompromised patients, severe complications that mimic various diseases may follow. Several cases of cervical lymphadenitis associated with toxoplasmosis have been reported, however, toxoplasma manifestations of faucial tonsils have not been dealt with in depth. Herein, we report a case of chronic granulomatous tonsillitis with possible toxoplasmosis origin, in a healthy individual presenting with recurrent mild fever. The etiology, epidemiology, clinicopathological features are also reviewed.
