Reactivation ofToxoplasma gondiiinfection often occurs concurrently with active cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in immunocompromised patients, and CMV disease results in immunosuppression. To determine if murine CMV (MCMV) infection decreases resistance toT. gondii,mice with latentT. gondiiinfection were infected with MCMV.T. gondiiinfection reactivated, manifested primarily as pneumonia. Lung macrophages supported the growth ofT. gondiibefore, during, and afterT. gondiireactivation. Peritoneal macrophages inhibited the growth ofT. gondiias pneumonia developed and became permissive as pneumonia resolved. Mice with latentT. gondiiinfection could survive larger doses of MCMV than could controls. Thus, MCMV infection led to reactivation of latentT. gondiiinfection in mice. Activation of lung macrophages, assessed by their ability to inhibit replication ofT.gondiiin vitro, was not associated with control ofT.gondiiinfection.
