• Retinal Pigmentation

  Human retinal pigment 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 retinal pigment epithelial atrophy. Pupillary light reflex and color vision were normal. [evrs.eu]

  Contd In Immunosuppressed  Have both tachyzoites and tissue cysts in areas of retinal necrosis and within retinal pigment epithelial cells.  Parasites can occasionally be found in the iris, choroid, vitreous, and optic nerve 10. [slideshare.net]

  Using either route, parasites were observed in the retinal vessel with the formation of a glial reaction in the inner plexiforme layer and discontinuity of the pigmented epithelium of the retina 7 days after infection. [cambridge.org]

• Photophobia

  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]

• Scotoma

  Confrontation visual fields revealed a central relative scotoma in the right eye and were full in the left eye. Extraocular movements were full in both eyes. Intraocular pressure was 21 mm Hg in the right eye and 17 mm Hg in the left eye. [retinalphysician.com]

  Scotomas are directly related to the size and location of retinochoroidal scars during the inactive stage of the parasite. [karger.com]

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]

The etiology of such hypofluorescent lesions is unknown but is suspected of being a noninfectious, perilesional inflammatory reaction. [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]

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]
