Abstract
We report a case of retinal toxoplasmosis that occurred in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who had a previous diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis, despite the patient having had a robust immune response to highly active antiretroviral therapy. Clinical decisions about whether to discontinue secondary prophylaxis for opportunistic infections continue to be challenging.
