Abstract
The usefulness of cell culture of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised hosts has not been st ressed previously. We report an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome pat ient with disseminated toxoplasmosis who was diagnosed by isolation of Toxoplasma gondii in cell cultures from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
