This study was carried on 42 patients with meningoencephalitis who had negative C.S.F. cultures for common pathogenic bacteria. The percentage of seropositive Toxoplasma antibodies (IgG) using Indirect Immuno Fluorescent Assay was 10/42 (26%). The clinical presentation and C.S.F. changes with high antibody titres were encountered. The results may incriminate toxoplasmosis as an etiologic agent for meningoencephalitis.
