    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Ocular toxoplasmosis is a significant cause of posterior uveitis.
    • Macular involvement can lead to severe visual impairment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate macular alterations in patients with ocular toxoplasmosis.
    • To characterize the clinical presentation and outcomes of toxoplasmic chorioretinitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 41 patients diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis.
    • Clinical data analysis including visual acuity, funduscopic findings, and treatment responses.

    Main Results:

    • Congenital toxoplasmosis resulted in scars and poor vision in 7 patients.

  • Recurrent active toxoplasmic chorioretinitis presented with focal lesions, vitreous opacities, and inflammation in 32 patients.
  • Macular edema, papilledema, and retinal perivasculitis were common in active cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Active toxoplasmic chorioretinitis frequently causes extensive intraocular inflammation.
    • Combined antimicrobial and corticosteroid therapy is suggested for active lesions.
