Acute toxoplasmosis in immunocompetent persons most often proceeds subclinically and ends with the formation of latent toxoplasmosis, which does not require therapy and observation. The presence of clinical signs of a long-term disease forces an extensive diagnostic search to exclude/confirm chronic toxoplasmosis. In the treatment of toxoplasmosis in persons without immunodeficiency, repeated courses of antiprotozoal drugs are used, which do not guarantee clinical recovery and the absence of relapses. Perinatal aspects of toxoplasmosis will be discussed in a future publication.
