Transplant recipients who are seronegative for and receive an organ from a seropositive donor are at high risk for donor-derived toxoplasmosis in the absence of prophylaxis. While the risk in cardiac transplant recipients is well known, this infection is often underrecognized in noncardiac transplant recipients. Toxoplasmosis in transplant patients is associated with high mortality, and diagnosis is challenging as the presentation is nonspecific.

This study aimed to better understand how autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) differ in types of praxis errors made on the Florida Apraxia Battery Modified (FAB-M) and the potential relationships between praxis errors and social deficits in ASD. The ASD group made significantly more timing sequencing errors in imitation of meaningful gestures, as well as more body-part-for-tool errors during gesture-to-command compared to the other two groups. In the ASD group, increased temporal errors in meaningful imitation were significantly correlated with poorer affect recognition and less repetitive behaviors.
