Congenital Toxoplasmosis with Aplastic Anemia: A Rare Association

Congenital toxoplasmosis is caused by transmission of an intracellular obligate coccidian protozoan (Toxoplasma gondii) via vertical transmission during pregnancy. The clinical manifestations are wide ranging from asymptomatic to intracranial calcifications, seizures, developmental delay, chorioretinal lesions and even fetal death. Aplastic anemia is one of the rare presentations of congenital toxoplasmosis. Hence, we are reporting a case of a 23-year-old male who presented to us with aplastic anemia due to congenital toxoplasmosis. Thus, congenital toxoplasmosis should always be considered as a cause when evaluating a case of aplastic anemia
