Abstract
Serologic tests failed to contribute to the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in two HIV-infected patients. One patient developed adenopathy with n egative serologic tests for toxoplasmosis, whereas the other had syste mic manifestations with no increase in IgG titers. In patients with un explained neurological manifestations or fever, negative serological t ests or stable antibody titers should not be taken as ruling out toxop lasmosis.
