Introduction
Toxoplasmosis is a life‐threatening complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, for several reasons, clinicians know little about Toxoplasma infection.
Case presentation
We report a case of toxoplasmosis that was diagnosed by bone marrow smear and metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) after HSCT in a boy. Additionally, we summarize the characteristics of toxoplasmosis after pediatric HSCT reported in the literature published in PubMed.
Conclusion
Clinicians should increase their awareness of toxoplasmosis in children after HSCT and implement pre‐transplant screening and post‐transplant monitoring and prevention in future according to the national conditions of our country.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
