ABSTRACT
Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular coccidian protozoan and a widespread parasite affecting various animals and humans, is one of the common causes of cervical lymphadenitis in human. Cervical lymphadenitis is the most common clinical manifestation of toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent host, but still more rare in Korea than in other countries, including United States and Europe. In Korea, number of travelers to and from other countries and inclusion of meat as a part of daily diet are increasing, possibly increasing the incidence of toxoplasma lymphadenitis, which should be considered by differential diagnosis of lymphadenitis. We present a case of toxoplasma lymphadenitis in submental lymph nodes in an immunocompetent host.
