| Abstract (English): | Toxoplasmosis is a common zoonotic infection with various transmission mechanisms and wide distribution worldwide. Its probability of causing disease is related to alterations in the immune system as well as the parasite’s virulence. This study presents four cases of patients from rainforest areas in Colombia who did not have any known immunosuppression but do have a diagnosis of toxoplasmosis with pulmonary involvement, confirmed by serology. One of them also developed hypoxemic ventilatory failure and myocarditis. This outbreak of toxoplasmosis occurred in military personnel after coming into contact with common sources of exposure in the Colombian Amazon during a military training exercise. This article includes the diagnostic process, clinical manifestations, treatment, and importance of the parasite’s genotypic variants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | La toxoplasmosis es una infección zoonótica frecuente con diversos mecanismos de transmisión y distribución amplia a nivel mundial. Su probabilidad de generar enfermedad está relacionada con la alteración del sistema inmunológico y la virulencia del parásito. Se presentan cuatro pacientes sin inmunosupresión conocida, procedentes de un área selvática de Colombia y con diagnóstico de toxoplasmosis confirmado por serología y con compromiso pulmonar, uno de los cuales desarrolló falla respiratoria hipoxémica y miocarditis. Este brote de toxoplasmosis se presentó en personal militar después de su exposición a esta zoonosis en la Amazonia colombiana durante un ejercicio de entrenamiento. Se describen el proceso diagnóstico, las manifestaciones clínicas y el tratamiento, y se discute la importancia de las variantes genotípicas del parásito. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
