The HIV test was reactive with a CD4 count of 10 cells/ µL (normal range: 700- 1 200/ µL). CSF PCR for Toxoplasma gondii was positive. CSF cryptococcal antigen, fungal and mycobacterial cultures, EBV-PCR and M.tuberculosis-PCR were negative. Conus medullaris involvement is an uncommon manifestation of toxoplasmosis in advanced HIV.
