Disseminated toxoplasmosis (DT) is an uncommon but severe complication associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This case report describes the successful treatment of a 28-year-old male individual with AIDS who developed severe and life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) resulting from DT, in which extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was employed effectively.

Toxoplasmal meningoencephalitis is a sporadic condition that is often misdiagnosed antemortem, frequently resulting in euthanasia especially in resource-limited settings. Here we report a case of a 7-week-old female domestic shorthair cat from an animal shelter who presented in a compromised condition and continued to display clinical signs consistent with a "failure to thrive" kitten. Weight loss and decreased activity were observed, and later on, neurological dysfunction became apparent.

Article Synopsis
- Drug development for congenital toxoplasmosis is challenging due to high adverse effects and poor efficacy of first-line therapies; bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs) like BKI-1748 may offer a new treatment option.
- In a study involving 19 pregnant sheep, those treated with BKI-1748 after infection showed lower fever and immunological responses compared to untreated counterparts.
- The treated group had a higher percentage of healthy lambs at delivery and showed no evidence of congenital transmission of the parasite, unlike the untreated group where parasite DNA was detectable.
