See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Severe forms of cerebral toxoplasmosis in patients with HIV infection are characterized by a good prognosis in approximately 50% of cases. Profound immunodepression and impaired consciousness represent major determinants of outcome. In our study, the benefit of adjunctive steroids to treat cerebral edema could not be demonstrated.
