PRO/AH/EDR> Undiagnosed illness - USA (02): (WI) venison exposure, poss toxoplasmosis

Undiagnosed -- United States
An outbreak of severe febrile illness 5 days following ingestion of venison, in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms, is compatible with only a handful of infectious diseases. In 1980, a similar outbreak among American hunters was ascribed to acute toxoplasmosis. [1] The decision support module in Gideon () also assigns a high ranking to toxoplasmosis.
