The most common late manifestation that may occur in an untreated child exposed to Toxoplasmosis during pregnancy is
chorioretinitis, which is an inflammation of the vascular coat (choroid) and retina of the eye.
Toxoplasmosis encephalitis (TE), and
chorioretinitis has been described T.gondii infects herbivorous, omnivorous and carnivorous animals.
The most common symptoms among infants without vesicular lesions were eye problems (such conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis, or
chorioretinitis), seizures, fever, jaundice, and respiratory distress.
In addition to supplements, Knapp employed sphenopalatine blocks, using topical anesthesia, to improve all types of
chorioretinitis, including macular degeneration.
Furthermore, since the parasite can cross the placenta, the primary maternal infection with T.gondii can be transmitted to the fetus and may lead to severe congenital defects such as hydrocephaly, mental retardation,
chorioretinitis, visual impairment or even death in utero (2-5).
Intrauterine infection, although rare, can result in abortions or stillbirths, skin scars, ophthalmic complications (
chorioretinitis, microphthalmia), and brain damage.
apiospermum has also been isolated from a wide range of body sites, causing septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, lymphocutaneous syndrome, pneumonia, endocarditis, peritonitis, meningo-encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscess, parotitis, thyroid abscess, otomycosis, sinusitis, keratitis,
chorioretinitis and endophthalmitis.
Demostration of intraocular sintesis of immunoglobulin G toxoplasma antibodies for specific diagnosis of toxoplasma
chorioretinitis by enzyme immunoassay.
The concomitant presence of inflammatory cells in the retina and choroid characterized
chorioretinitis. Inflammatory cells were notably found among layers of optic nerve fibers and ganglion cells, or even among the external plexiform and ganglion cell layers.
Common ocular manifestations of congenital infections include
chorioretinitis and cataract, with less common occurrence of microphthalmos, glaucoma, keratitis, microphthalmia, iridocyclitis, iris dystrophy, optic neuritis, retinitis (3).
