    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Context:

    • Congenital toxoplasmosis presents with variable clinical manifestations.
    • Ocular involvement is a significant concern in congenital toxoplasmosis.
    • Serological testing of aqueous humor offers an early diagnostic advantage.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of congenital toxoplasmosis.
    • To discuss the clinical presentation and management strategies for ocular toxoplasmosis.
    • To evaluate the impact of prevention programs on the incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis.

    Summary:

    • Congenital toxoplasmosis diagnosis can be challenging due to atypical presentations.
    • Serological analysis of aqueous humor enables early detection and cost-effective treatment.
    • The standard treatment involves Pyrimethamine, Adiazine, and corticosteroids, with prolonged courses for severe cases.
    • Severe forms necessitate careful management, especially with localized corticosteroid use or bilateral involvement.
    • Prevention strategies, including maternal seroconversion detection and neonatal treatment, have reduced incidence in France.

    Impact:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent severe clinical manifestations and long-term complications.
    • Effective management strategies improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
    • Public health initiatives focusing on prevention have demonstrably decreased the incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis.
