Overview
The most common physical examination findings of toxoplasmosis include painless lymphadenopathy in immunocompetent individuals. Other findings include fever, malaise, myalgias, and a maculopapular skin rash that spares the palms and the soles. In retinochoroiditis examination reveals multiple yellow-white cotton like patches with indistinct margins located in small clusters in the posterior pole.
Physical Examination
Vital Signs
HEENT
- Blurry vision
Skin
- Maculpapular rash that spares hands and soles.
Lymph nodes
- Regional lymph node enlargement may be seen.
Cardiovascular system
- Regular rate and rhythm
- Normal S1, S2
- No murmurs, rubs, or gallops
Lungs
Findings consistent with parenchymal consolidation in cases of pulmonary penumonitis such as
- Dullness to percussion
- Increased fremitus
- Signs of pleura involvement such as pleuritic rub.
Abdominal
- Abdomen soft and non-distended with no scars or striations
- No pulsatile masses or abdominal bruits auscultated
- Hepatosplenomegaly in disseminated cases.
Neurological
Normal examination finding unless the infection is disseminated to brain resulting in meningitis, then findings include:
- Altered level of consciousness
- Nuchal rigidity
- Unsteady gait
- Slurred speech
- Muscle weakness
