  • Očesna toksoplazmoza = Ocular toxoplasmosis
    Kraut, Aleksandra ; Stirn-Kranjc, Branka ; Vidović Valentinčič, Nataša
    Background. Ocular toxoplasmosis is one of the important causes of severe visual loss in young otherwise healthy people. Diagnosis is clinical, supported by laboratory tests. Current evidence about ... the timing of toxoplasmainfection leading to ocular disease suggests, that recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis is the result of prenatal (congenital) or remote, postnatal (acquired) infection. The timing of infection is rarely exactly known, and retinitis is not only a late manifestation of congenital disease aspreviously believed. The purpose is to review recent observations regarding ocular toxoplasmosis, and to review our experiences in the treatmentof ourpatients with this illness. Methods. A review of the medicalliterature about ocular toxoplasmosis, especially regarding pathogenesis, therapy and prevention of the disease. Results. Epidemiological data for toxoplasmosis are various in different parts of the world. The highest rate is in Brasil. In Slovenia the rate is similar like in France or in the Netherlands (at age 40 there is 60% population seropositive). Toxoplasmosis screening in pregnant women is partly performed since 1991 and systematically since 1995 in Slovenia. No retinochorioditis was found in newborns so far. In the pathogenesis there are some several potential sources and routes of infections, that were previously unrecognized. Ocular involvement in cases of acquired infection appears to be more common than believed before. Classical therapy for ocular toxoplasmosis is still most commonly used. In prevention the education of pregnant women, and correct treatment of infected patients is recommended. Conclusions. The time of infection with Toxoplasma gondii and consequential retinochoroiditis is rarelyconfirmed. Patients with acquired infection after birth are probably more numerous than with congenital disease. (Abstract trunacted at 2000 characters).
