Acquired toxoplasmosis has been known as a clinical entity for about two decades.1,2 However, it has been considered a rare illness in the United States. With the general availability of the serological methods, this disease will probably be found with increasing frequency in this country. Such was the experience in Scandinavia after Dr. Siim called attention to the frequency of this illness in that part of the world.3

We should like to describe a case of proved acquired toxoplasmosis in a 2½-year-old child. This patient posed a diagnostic problem for several weeks, presenting as a case of fever of undertermined origin with many varied associated symptoms.
