RECURRENT OCULAR TOXOPLASMOSIS AND NORMALISATION OF SERUM IgG VALUE

Toxoplasma retinochoroiditis has been reported as a leading cause of posterior uveitis. Toxoplasma
gondii is ubiquitous obligate intracellular parasite with two clinical types, namely, a congenital and a
postnatally acquired disease1 Ocular toxoplasmosis is a progressive and recurring necrotizing retinitis,
with vision-threatening complications such as retinal detachment, choroidal neovascularization, and
glaucoma, which may occur at any time during the clinical course. In the case of acquired
toxoplasmosis, which rarely causes ocular disease, the antibody titres are usually very high, and
therefore serology for this diagnosis is indispensable. There lies a matter of controversy about
diagnosis and treatment for ocular toxoplasmosis, and to date, many treatment options are applied
clinically.2
