Toxoplasmosis

 

 

CNS infection with Toxoplasma gondii is most likely in immunosuppressed patients or in fetuses. The lesions

show necrosis and inflammation, acute and chronic. In the inset photo encysted bradyzoites are seen.

Free tachyzoites are more difficult to define on H&E stain but are readily identified on IH stains.
