Objective: The objective of this study was to collect the best available scientific evidence comparing the efficacy of Trimetropim sulfamethoxazole versus any Pyrimethamine regimen in the treatment of toxoplasmic encephalitis in patients with HIV/AIDS. Material and methods: A search was carried out in Pubmed, Ebsco, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane central and gray literature for original articles that report efficacy results in terms of complete and partial response to treatment with the investigated drugs. The investigators independently evaluated and selected the studies, the exposed data were extracted for associations of interest and processed with Revman 5.3 software. Results: The search obtained a total of 242 potential articles for the review, of which 4 were selected for analysis. A total of 181 patients were included in the meta-analysis. It was determined that the complete response to treatment was RR of 1.32 (95% CI 0.74 – 2.38 p =0.35), favoring TMP – SMX; the partial response obtained a RR of 0.47 (95% CI 0.17 – 1.31 p =0.15) favoring PS; Finally, mortality obtained a RR of 1.88 (95% CI 0.53 – 6.66 p =0.33), favoring PS. Conclusion: The TMP – SMX regimen is more effective than Pyrimethamine based treatment
