Abstract

AIDS is an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome caused by HIV infection. Once infected, the individual progressively loses the ability to fight against opportunists infections. Among these infections, one of the most important is the co-infection with toxoplasmosis. This co-infection is responsible for important neural commitment and, if left untreated, it can progress to death. This work seeks to qualitatively assess the literature in order to understand the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical condition and treatment. This, in order to highlight the best approach to prevent this disease and the best way to manage it.
