Abstract

We report on an immunocompetent patient who developed acquired toxoplasmosis and Miller-Fisher syndrome with central and peripheral neural involvement. We suggest the possible relationship between acquired toxoplasmosis and Miller-Fisher syndrome, even though we cannot exclude a mere coincidence. To our knowledge such an association has not been reported.
