Acute encephalitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii was diagnosed in ten patients in Belgium, the U.S.A., and Canada. None had underlying conditions usually associated with toxoplasmosis. Three had evidence of extraneural infection at necropsy. Nine patients died. Only two of the patients had a history of homosexuality, and one was a heroin addict. Five were Haitian, and four of them had lived in North America for 2-5 years. Eight of the patients had pronounced lymphopenia. Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis was hampered by a lack of suspicion that Toxoplasma could be the agent causing necrotising encephalitis in the non-immunocompromised host, the protean manifestations of the encephalitis, and a lack of a specific antibody response. The large number of cases appearing in western Europe and North America emphasise the necessity of including toxoplasmosis in the differential diagnosis of encephalitis of unknown aetiology.
