Its symptoms mimic several other infectious diseases, so clinical signs are non-specific and are not sufficiently characteristic for a definite diagnosis. A failed trial of antimicrobial therapy ( pyrimethamine , sulfadiazine , and folinic acid ( USAN : leucovorin)), makes an alternative diagnosis more likely.
