| Toxoplasma | A genus of parasitic protozoa. T. Gondii is an intracellular parasite whose intermediate host includes human, the final host being felines of many species. Causes toxoplasmosis in humans in which the parasite finally locates in tissues such as brain, heart, the eye causing serious and sometimes fatal lesions. (18 Nov 1997) |

| toxoplasma antibody titre | A test which measures the presence of antibodies against Toxoplasma in the blood. This test is used to detect congenital or postnatal toxoplasmosis or to screen pregnant women for the presence of Toxoplasma antibodies. The presence of antibodies before pregnancy probably protects the foetus against congenital toxoplasmosis. Antibodies against Toxoplasma that are developed during pregnancy may indicate a congenital infection (increased risk of birth defects and spontaneous abortion). (27 Sep 1997) |
| Toxoplasma gondii | An abundant, widespread sporozoan species (family Toxoplasmatidae) that is an intracellular, nonhost-specific parasite in a great variety of vertebrates. It develops its sexual cycle, leading to oocyst production, exclusively in cats and other felids; proliferative stages (tachyzoites) and tissue cysts (containing bradyzoites) develop in a wide variety of animal species that acquire the infection from ingestion of oocysts, tissue cysts from infected meat, or by transplacental migration, leading to infection in utero. Origin: G. Toxon, bow or arc, + plasma, anything formed (05 Mar 2000) |
| toxoplasma test | <investigation> A test which measures the presence of antibodies against Toxoplasma in the blood. This test is used to detect congenital or postnatal toxoplasmosis or to screen pregnant women for the presence of Toxoplasma antibodies. The presence of antibodies before pregnancy probably protects the foetus against congenital toxoplasmosis. Antibodies against Toxoplasma that are developed during pregnancy may indicate a congenital infection (increased risk of birth defects and spontaneous abortion). (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis | A disease characterised by acute onset of fever, followed by convulsions, delirium, and coma, and associated with perivascular demyelination and haemorrhagic foci in the central nervous system. Synonym: acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, Strumpell's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biundulant meningoencephalitis | tick-borne encephalitis (Central European subtype) |
| meningoencephalitis | Inflammation of both the brain and meninges. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic progressive syphilitic meningoencephalitis | Syphilitic infection manifested as dementia (often with delusional features), dysarthria, seizures, myoclonic jerks, action tremor, impaired walking and standing, pupillary abnormalities, and abnormal CSF findings. Synonym: chronic progressive syphilitic meningoencephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mumps meningoencephalitis | A usually benign nervous system infection arising during the active phase of clinical mumps parotiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary amoebic meningoencephalitis | An invasive, rapidly fatal cerebral infection by soil amoebae, chiefly Naegleria fowleri, found in man and other primates and experimentally in rodents; the disease is characterised by a high fever, neck rigidity, and symptoms associated with upper respiratory infection such as cough and nausea; although organisms have been cultured from various organs, the brain is the primary focus, especially the olfactory lobes and cerebral cortex, which are first attacked by the amoebae that enter from nasal mucosa through the cribriform plate; death usually occurs two to three days after onset of symptoms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpetic meningoencephalitis | A severe form of meningoencephalitis caused by herpesvirus type 1 and associated with a high mortality rate; definite diagnosis depends upon isolation of the virus or demonstration of viral antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic meningoencephalitis | A secondary or tertiary stage manifestation of syphilis; rarely fatal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thromboembolic meningoencephalitis | An acute septicaemic disease of cattle caused by the bacterium Haemophilus somnus and characterised by fever, severe depression, ataxia, blindness, coma, and rapid death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosinophilic meningoencephalitis | A disease caused by infection with the rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, whose larvae, ingested with infected slugs or land snails (or some unidentified transport host), migrate from intestine to the meninges of the brain where the disease is produced; it is usually mild, of short duration, and characterised by fever, eosinophilia, and white blood cells (rarely nematode larvae) in the spinal fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| turkey meningoencephalitis virus | A virus of the genus Flavivirus causing paralysis and enteritis in turkeys in Israel. (05 Mar 2000) |
