The serologic tests for T. gondii including Sabin-Feldman dye test, indirect latexagglutination test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were all positive, and the lymph node biopsy showed diffuse follicular hyperplasia and heavy infiltration of macrophages in the germinal centers.
The patient was medicated with pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine. The lymphadenopthy subsided 2 weeks later.
