Abstract: Transmission of toxoplasmosis via liver transplantation is extremely uncommon. Here we report the case of a 52‐year‐old male liver transplant recipient who on day 32 post transplant developed pneumonia followed by respiratory failure. Donor‐transmitted toxoplasmosis was confirmed as the etiology by both serologic and molecular testing. We also review all previously published cases of toxoplasmosis in the English‐language adult liver transplant literature.
