The acute toxoplasmosis in the inmunocompetent individual generally has a benign and autoresolutive course. However, in patient coming from wild area severe cases of visceral commitment, the most frequent in them, the pulmonary commitment has been reported. The clinical and radiological description of nine individuals members of the military forces of Colombia, with acute toxoplasmosis and pulmonary commitment was carried. 55% of the cases presented disnea functional class II/IV; 33% functional class III/IV and only 1/9 patients presented functional class IV/IV. The most common radiological image was the unifocal or multifocal consolidation pulmonary (66%), and in smaller frequency the presence of having infiltrated reticular, reticulonodulares and pleural effusion. The entirety of the patients evolved in satisfactory form, two of them with support with noninvasive ventilation.
