Abstract Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection caused by the obligate parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, that is distributed throughout the world. Lymphadenopathy, primarily of the cervical type, is one of the most commonly encountered clinical findings of acquired toxoplasmosis. It has been estimated that 15% of unexplained adenopathy is due to toxoplasmosis.1 However, only a few cases of toxoplasmosis have been reported in dental literature. Cervical lymph node enlargement is also one of the most common clinical findings in dental clinics. This report details a case of toxoplasmosis that was manifested by preauricular and cervical lymphadenitis. The importance of recognizing lymphadenopathy as a possible clinical sign of toxoplasmosis is discussed.
