초록
Toxoplasmosis is a ubiquitous protozoan infection caused by coccidian Toxoplasma gondii. In an immunocompetent host, the primary infection is generally oligosymptomatic and self-limiting. Fewer than 10% of infected subjects are symptomatic, with lymphadenopathy as the most frequent clinical finding. Here, two cases of Toxoplasmic lymphadenitis are reported for otolaryngologists to consider the clinical findings and natural history aspects of this infection.
