Figure 173.2. Life cycle and modes of transmission of <italic>Toxoplasma gondii</bold>. Infection in humans and other animals occurs primarily after ingestion of either the cyst or the oocyst. Released organisms invade the intestinal epithelium, spread to tissues (either hematogenously or through lymphatics), and form cysts. When humans or other animals (including the cat) eat infected tissues (from any animal) or mature oocysts (excreted only by members of the cat family), the life cycle is comple...

FIG. 6.2. Eczema herpeticum. Ulcers and excoriations, as in these two cases [patient 1 (A, B), patient 2 (C)], usually characterize the eruption, although vesicles may be seen at times (D). More severe cases [patient 3 (E), patient 4 (F, G), patient 5 (H)], with generalized eruptions, require intravenous therapy with acyclovir.
