Abstract

Ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) is considered the most frequent form of infectious posterior uveitis and is caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Despite large advances in the field of OT, large gaps still exist in our knowledge concerning the epidemiology and pathophysiology of this potentially blinding infectious old disease. In this review we aimed to investigate current clinical understanding of OT, diagnosis treatment options.

Özet

Oküler toksoplazmozis (OT) protozoan parazit Toxoplasma gondii’ nin neden olduğu enfeksiyöz posterior üveitin en sık görülen şeklidir. Alanındaki büyük ilerlemelere rağmen, bu eski, potansiyel olarak kör edici bulaşıcı hastalığın epidemiyolojisi ve patofizyolojisi ile ilgili bilgilerimizde hala büyük boşluklar bulunmaktadır. Bu derlemede OT ‘nin güncel klinik özelliklerini, tanı ve tedavi seçeneklerini incelemeyi amaçladık.
