RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

Describir características clínicas de uveítis posterior activa, presumiblemente por Toxoplasma gondii (UPAPT) en portadores de lesión típica. Estudio tranversal.

MÉTODOS:

64 portadores de UPAPT con retinocorroiditis cicatrizada y lesión satélite activa, mayores de 10 años, inmunocompetentes, examinados en Permambuco, Brazil. Se analizó sexo, edad, color de la piel, procedencia, uveítis anteriores, agudeza visual, presión ocular y exámen ocular.

RESULTADOS:

Masculino en 52 por ciento. Edad media 29 años (±10,87). Piel blanca en 68,8 por ciento. Domicilio en la área metropolitana en 80,4 por ciento. Primer episodio de uveítis en 56,2 por ciento. Media de visión en ojo afectado 20/200. Presión ocular media 14,5 mmHg (±7,64) en ojo afectado. Conjuntiva hiperemiada en 29,7 por ciento. Alteraciones corneales en 51,6 por ciento. Células en el humor acuoso en 67,2 por ciento. Sinéquias posteriores en 6,2 por ciento. Compromiso vítreo en 100 por ciento. Vasculitis retiniana en 45,3 por ciento. Lesiones localizads en la zona I de Holland en 42,2 por ciento, siendo de tamaño igual o mayor de un diámetro de disco en 90,6 por ciento. Neuritis en 28,2 por ciento.

CONCLUSIÓN:

UPAPT afecta adultos jóvenes, siendo el síntoma principal la disminución de la visión. Presión ocular media normal. Compromiso vítreo en todos los casos. Com mayor frequencia las lesiones fueron mayores de un diámetro de disco localizadas en la zona I de Holland.
ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To describe clinical characteristics of posterior active uveitis presumptively by Toxoplasma gondii (PAUPT) in patients with typical lesion. Tranversal study.

METHODS:

Sixty-four patients with retinochoroiditis scatter and active satellite lesions examined in Pernambuco, Brazil. All were older than 10 years and immunocompetent. Gender, age, skin color, and residence were recorded. Previous uveitis, visual accuracy, intraocular pressure (IOP), and ocular examination were analyzed.

RESULTS:

52 percent were males, most of them with white skin (68.8 percent). Mean age 29 years (±10.87). Eighty-four percent of the patients lived in the metropolitan area. 56.2 percent were having the first episode of uveitis. In the damaged eye, visual accuracy mean was 20/200, IOP mean 14.5 mmHg (±64). Hyperemia of the conjunctiva was observed in 29.7 percent of the patients and alterations of the cornea in 51.6 percent. There were cells in the aqueous humor in 62.7 percent. 6.2 percent had posterior synechiae. All had vitreous damage and 45.3 percent retinal vasculitis. In 42.2 percent of the patients, lesions were located in zone I of Holland and 90.6 percent had the size of one discus diameter or greater. Neuritis was observed in 28.2 percent. Uveitis was more frequent in the right eye (54.7 percent).

CONCLUSION:

PAUPT affects young people and the main symptom was reduction of visual acuity. IOP mean was normal. Alterations of the vitreous were observed in all cases. Injuries were equal to one discus diameter or greater and located in zone I of Holland.
