This case underlines why appropriate testing should be performed in confusing cases, and helps increase the knowledge about the diagnosis of this disease.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-5-16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,19]],"date-time":"2011-01-19T11:15:53Z","timestamp":1295435753000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Toxoplasmosis in a patient who was immunocompetent: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Aneta K","family":"Taila","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ameet S","family":"Hingwe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura E","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"1387_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.321.7254.142","volume":"321","author":"AJ Cook","year":"2000","unstructured":"Cook AJ, Gilbert RE, Buffolano W, Zufferey J, Petersen E, Jenum PA, Foulon W, Semprini AE, Dunn DT: Sources of toxoplasma infection in pregnant women: European multicentre case-control study.
