[Subretinal manifestations as the chief findings in parasitic diseases in germany]

The most frequent intraocular manifestations of parasitoses in Germany and world-wide are retinochoroidal lesions of Toxoplasma gondii; worms are less frequent. In reports of four cases it is shown that demographic data, biomicroscopical hallmarks and the fecal wet-mounts are the most important parameters for a presumptive diagnosis, if no intraocular material can be isolated. The patients in this series lack systemic features and changes in the blood differential, probably due to the adequate alimentary state and lack of reinfestations.
