Abstract
We report an unusual clinical presentation of toxoplasmosis. Fever and headache were the only complaints of a 48-year-old immunocompetent ma n who was found to have a rash, hepatitis and a pericardial effusion. Lymphadenopathy was not present. Evolving atypical lymphocytosis was t he clue to the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. Undercooked meat was the pr obable source of infection.
