Oculaire toxoplasmosis

ABSTRACT

Toxoplasmosis is the leading cause of posterior uveitis in immunocompetent patients. Our series includes 15 cases of ocular toxoplasmosis collected in the [B] ophthalmology department over the last 5 years. The mean age was 26 years. Male involvement is predominant. Lesions are mostly chorioretinal. Scarringare found in 60% of cases. Generally clinical appearance is typical, but sometimes the diagnosis can only be obtained by biology based on the detection of a local production of toxoplasmosis antibodies. Through this study, the authors emphasize the interest of the ophthalrnoscopic appearance in the diagnosis of this condition. Treatment is based on the combination pyrimethamine-sulfadiazine
