 AB    Large pericardial effusions are now a well-known complication of the
       acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, mainly caused by mycobacterial
       disease. However, other etiologies can be found. We report a case of
       toxoplasma pericarditis without other parasitic localizations.
       Pericarditis is a very uncommon clinical feature during toxoplasmosis.
       Its diagnosis is often difficult to establish, particularly in
       immunocompromised patients. Nevertheless, its possible evolution to
       constriction or tamponade requires its consideration. New methods of
       rapid tissue cultures may be helpful and allow early specific treatment.
