A variety of diseases-including cerebral infarction, hemorrhage, encephalitis, Meniere’s disease, im-mune abnormalities and malignancies-can cause central nervous system (CNS) deficits such as dizzi-ness. However, relying solely on neuroimaging for diagnosis may be insufficient. This case report de-scribes a 33-year-old male who presented with three weeks of dizziness, followed by unilateral limb weakness three days prior to admission. Brain imaging, combined with a detailed exposure history, raised strong suspicion of cerebral toxoplasmosis secondary to immunosuppression. Empiric treatment was initiated, and subsequent testing confirmed co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV). The patient responded well to treatment, with resolution of CNS symptoms, and was discharged in stable condition. This case highlights the importance of thorough history-tak-ing—particularly regarding immune status, infection risks, and potential exposures—when evaluating young adults with non-specific CNS symptoms such as dizziness. In such patients, opportunistic infec-tions like cerebral toxoplasmosis should be considered early, especially when immune compromise is suspected, to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment.
