    This case highlights acquired toxoplasmic chorioretinitis with systemic symptoms. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, including pyrimethamine and sulfonamide, are crucial for managing this rare toxoplasmosis presentation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Toxoplasmic chorioretinitis is typically congenital, but acquired cases can occur.
    • Acquired toxoplasmosis can present with diverse systemic symptoms beyond ocular manifestations.
    • Understanding transmission routes is vital for public health prevention.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with acquired toxoplasmic chorioretinitis 11 days post-exposure to infected animals.
    • Systemic symptoms included rhinitis, sore throat, myalgia, fatigue, lymphadenopathy, and cardiac issues.
    • Elevated Toxoplasma antibody titers confirmed the infection.

    Findings:

    • Initial prednisone treatment for chorioretinitis led to lesion progression.
    • Subsequent treatment with pyrimethamine and sulfonamide resulted in clinical improvement.

  • The case demonstrated unusual systemic involvement in acquired toxoplasmic chorioretinitis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering acquired toxoplasmosis in patients with unexplained systemic and ocular symptoms.
    • It highlights the potential for toxoplasmosis transmission via trophozoites in excretions.
    • Prompt and targeted antiparasitic therapy is essential for favorable outcomes in acquired toxoplasmic chorioretinitis.
