Resumo

Objetivo. Relatar um caso de coinfecção por neurotoxoplasmose e neurocisticercose em mulher acometida pela AIDS. Método. Relato de caso prospectivo, descritivo e contemporâneo de paciente do sexo feminino, 36 anos, com quadro clínico compatível com síndrome de hipertensão intracraniana. Os exames complementares diagnostica­ram neurotoxoplasmose e a sorologia anti-HIV foi positiva. Evolui, após semanas, com crises convulsivas e exames subsidiários de imagem demonstrando neurocisticercose. Resultados. As infecções oportunis­tas relacionadas à AIDS são frequentes. A neurotoxoplasmose é cau­sada pelo protozoário Toxoplasma gondii e principal causa de lesão intracraniana expansiva em pacientes com AIDS. A neurocisticercose, provocada por cisticercos (Cysticercus cellulosae ou C. racemosus), formas larvárias da Taenia solium, é bastante prevalente em nosso meio. Conclusão. Após suspeição clínico-radiológica de neurotoxo­plasmose, torna-se imperativo realização de teste anti-HIV, devido sua elevada frequência neste grupo de pacientes. Já a comorbidade neurocisticercose e AIDS é achado excepcional, resultado mais prova­velmente de mera coincidência, sem qualquer vínculo predisponente entre si.
