  ABSTRACT: Background: Simultaneous central nervous system infection by more than one pathogen is very uncommon, even in individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Purpose and methods: We report a clinical case of an HIV positive patient with simultaneous biopsy-confirmed neurotoxoplasmosis and neurocysticercosis. Results and conclusion: In this report, we present a rare occurrence of two simultaneous parasitic infections of the central nervous system in a patient with advanced immunosuppression due to HIV-1 infection. Despite the limited data available regarding the prevalence of such co-infections, this case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion and promptly identifying concurrent neurologic diseases to enable accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment in these patients.
