 AB    We report a case of cystitis due to Toxoplasma gondii in a patient with
       AIDS who presented with dysuria and urinary frequency. To our knowledge,
       this is the first reported case of cystitis due to this organism.
       Microscopy of bladder specimens revealed inflammatory cystitis, with
       Toxoplasma cysts disseminated within the mucosa. No other pathogen could
       be detected by urine culture, cytoscopy, or staining of bladder
       specimens obtained at autopsy. Diagnosis of cystitis due to Toxoplasma
       gondii may be difficult because this illness is associated with
       misleading radiologic and endoscopic findings. Toxoplasmosis is a rare
       but potentially curable cause of culture-negative cystitis in patients
       with AIDS.
