Response from Dr. Feinberg
 You don't say whether your brother has HIV or not, although people with Hodgkin's disease are also immunosuppressed. If he's HIV+, then antiviral therapy for HIV plus suppressive therapy for toxo would be the best bet. If he's not HIV+, then continued suppressive therapy against toxo is appropriate. There is no guarantee, however, that he'll regain full functiuon even with optimal therapy. Good luck! |
