Severe necrotizing myelitis secondary to localization and reactivation of T. gondii within the spinal cord of a domestic shorthair cat was diagnosed by use of light and electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. The cat also was infected with feline immunodeficiency virus. This case may have useful comparative features to T. gondii infections in human patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
