Purpose:
To report the findings of indocyanine green angiography performed in patients with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis.
Methods:
Institutional prospective analysis of 23 eyes from 23 immunocompetent patients with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis aged between 17 and 41 years. These patients underwent a complete ocular examination including indocyanine green angiography.
Results:
Multiple hypofluorescent spots distant from the recurrent active lesion of retinochoroidal toxoplasmosis were found in 26.08% of the patients. We also found multiple hypofluorescent satellite dots in 69.56% of the patients.
Conclusion:
These remote dots seen suggest either a more widespread choroidal involvement in this disease and this can represent simply remote collections of inflammatory cells or subclinical infection.
