In the series the intellectual deterioration prevailed associated to fever and migraine. In those affected patients with low count of lymphocytes CD4, the neurotoxoplasmosis, meningitis due to cryptococus, as well as the combination of both prevailed; for the first one the motor deficiency was significant and in the second one the meningeal signs didn't prevail. In spite of the positive response to the treatment neurotoxoplasmosis was the most recurrent infection.
