Abstract
To identify risk factors for cerebral toxoplasmosis (CT) in HIV patien ts (pts) with positive serology for Toxoplasma gondii and CD4 < 200/mm (3), data from the placebo group (N = 280) of a primary prophylaxis tr ial, were analyzed. The probability of onset of CT (n = 46) was, at on e year, 13.1%. Three baseline variables were independently associated with a higher risk of CT: group IV non AIDS, AIDS stage and CD4 < 50/m m(3). Initial titer of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was not.
