Systemic Toxoplasma Gondii Infection In A Cat With Incidental Cholangioma

A ten year old castrated male domestic short haired cat was presented to the Veterinary teaching hospital of the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine with a history of relapsing icterus, anemia, and lethargy. A diagnosis of disseminated toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii) was made on histopathological examination and confirmed by immunohistochemical studies. The immune status of this cat was unknown and therefore it could not be concluded that the disseminated infection was due to immunodeficiency. The presence of a cholangioma in the liver of this cat was regarded as an incidental finding.
