One patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia presented with severe posterior uveitis and total retinal detachment. Finally, the third patient presented with severe retinitis adjacent to the optic nerve and vitritis causing acute vision loss.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nonglaucomatous retinallesions may simulate glaucomatous RNFL atrophy and visual field loss, particularly when focal damage to the retinal ganglion cells occurs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Suddenly blurredvision, floater, and pain could be caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Flashing, may necessitate a more precise peripheral fundus examination.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Human retinalpigment epithelial (RPE) cells (ARPE-19) were infected in vitro with T. gondii and collected after 60, 120, 240 min, and 24 h.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed left optic disc swelling, cysoid macular edema, and retinalpigment epithelial atrophy. Pupillary light reflex and color vision were normal.[evrs.eu]

A 28-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of red eye, photophobia, pain and decreased visual acuity of the right eye.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case summary: A 48-year-old man presented with a 1-week history of red eye, photophobia, eyeball pain, and decreased visual acuity of the left eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/200 in the left eye and 20/20 in the right eye.[evrs.eu]
The patients present a photophobia and floaters are seen. The slit-lamp examination reveals the presence of a granulomatous inflammation, a mild to moderate anterior chamber inflammation.[medsci.org]
Other complaints included photophobia, ocular pain, floaters and redness were comparable to presenting complaints seen in Kaduna, Nigeria, where reduced vision was the most common presenting complaint followed by photophobia, pain, irritation, redness[jovr.org]
She informed us that the pain began four days earlier, and was accompanied by photophobia. Her ocular and medical histories were unremarkable.[reviewofoptometry.com]
Review of systems was significant for a nonspecific light headache over the week prior to presentation, as well as right-sided facialnumbness, gait ataxia, and increased anxiety.[retinalphysician.com]

Recent data supports the use of other treatment approaches, including intravitreal antibiotics. The aim of the present review is to discuss briefly the new diagnostic tools and treatment options for ocular toxoplasmosis. 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The side effects of each of these drugs need to be considered along with the benefits of the treatment. Further randomized clinical trials are required to determine the best standardized treatment protocol.[doi.org]

The possibility of retinal ischemia or inflammation alone as an etiology are discussed. A 19 year old woman developed optic nerve edema and a marked decrease in vision associated with a nasal toxoplasma lesion and a macular star.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In a study by Nguyen et al. [ 17 ], toxoplasmosis was the most common etiology of uveitis in patients referred to a tertiary center and had a prevalence of 14% among all other etiologies.[karger.com]
The etiology of such hypofluorescent lesions is unknown but is suspected of being a noninfectious, perilesional inflammatory reaction.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Considering the local epidemiological data, our OT patients seemed to be infected more frequently by ordinary type II strains found in the environment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention of Recurrences Prevention of recurrences of toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis may prevent loss of vision. Patients with paramacular toxoplasmosis may be given antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent recurrences.[aao.org]
