Toxoplasmosis prognosis in ICU patients diagnosed by PCR
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with severe toxoplasmosis (a parasitic infection) that affects the brain or spreads in the body, and who need intensive care, recover. It uses a sensitive test called PCR to confirm the infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have at least one organ that is failing (like lungs, kidneys, or heart)
- You had a positive PCR test for toxoplasmosis from spinal fluid, blood, lung fluid, or bone marrow within one week before or after entering the ICU

This study looks at people who have a positive blood test for toxoplasma DNA but no symptoms of toxoplasmosis. It aims to understand the meaning of an isolated positive PCR result.
This study tests a combination of three medications (pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, and leucovorin) to treat toxoplasmosis—a parasitic infection passed from mother to baby during pregnancy. The goal is to see if early treatment prevents serious complications in infected infants.
This study looks at tiny molecules in the blood (called microRNAs) that might help doctors tell the difference between mental health conditions in women who have had a past infection with the parasite Toxoplasma. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
This study looks at how having a weakened immune system affects the risk of getting infections with hard-to-treat bacteria in the ICU. Depending on your immune status, you may be placed in a group that helps doctors understand who is most at risk.
This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
This study looks at toxoplasmosis infections in people with weakened immune systems (not caused by HIV). It aims to learn more about how these infections happen and how they affect patients.
