RESUMO
PURPOSE: To describe a patient with acquired toxoplasma retinitis that shared similarities with unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: Interventional case report. RESULTS: A 39-year-old woman presented with sudden unilateral vision loss in the right eye after a flu-like illness. She had retinitis involving the fovea, subretinal fluid, thickening of the retinal pigment epithelium, and a few vitreous cells; the retinitis resolved with antitoxoplasma antibiotic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Acute acquired toxoplasma retinitis may present similarly to unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy.
