 Active Toxoplasmosis |  Inactive Toxoplasmosis Scar |
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
The symptoms associated with ocular toxoplasmosis include unilateral, mild ocular pain, blurred vision and new onset of floating spots. Patients often describe their vision as hazy. Clinical findings may include granulomatous iritis, vitritis, optic disc swelling, neuroretinitis, vasculitis and retinal vein occlusion in the vicinity of the inflammation, in the actively involved eye. Funduscopically, active toxoplasmosis presents with white-yellow, choreoretinal lesions and vitreous cells. There may be old, inactive lesions in the fellow eye. Toxoplasmosis can produce cystoid macular edema and choroidal neovascularization.
