We discuss a case of acute disseminated toxoplasmosis in a renal transplant recipient presenting with septic shock. Our literature review of disseminated toxoplasmosis presenting as septic shock reveals a disease process that is rapid and almost uniformly fatal. This unusual presentation warrants a high index of suspicion in transplant recipients with immediate administration of appropriate empiric antimicrobials.
