Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common parasitic zoonoses world-wide and ocular toxoplasmosis is one of the frequently identified causes of uveitis, It has been more than 100 years since Toxoplasma gondii was initially described, however there are recent clinical observations and laboratory findings which have led to a reassessment of many concepts about ocular toxoplasmosis. This review examines those developments in the pathophysiology of the disease and reassesses the relevant literature about the clinical manifestations of infection, diagnosis and tretament of ocular toxoplasmosis.

Özet

Toksoplazma dünya çapında en sık rastlanan parazitik zoonozlardan biri olma özelliğine sahiptir. Oküler toksoplazmozis ise üveitlerin en sık sebeplerinden bir tanesidir. Toksoplazma tanımlanmasının üzerinden 100 yıldan fazla bir zaman geçmesine rağmen, halen hakkında yeni klinik gözlemler ve laboratuvar bulguları ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bütün bu yeni gelişmeler ışığında oküler toksoplazma hakkındaki bütün kavramlar tekrar bir değerlendirilmeye tabi tutulmaktadır. Bu derlemede oküler toksoplazma patofizyolojisindeki gelişmeler incelenmekte ve hastalığın klinik bulguları, tanı ve tedavisi literatürdeki yeni bilgiler ışığında yeniden irdelenmektedir.
