title: [Ocular toxoplasmosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Ocular toxoplasmosis is a disease characterised by inflammation of posterior part of uvea. It can be either congenital or acquired. However, ocular toxoplasmosis is mostly congenital. The frequency of ocular involvement is 1/4 in ratio after invasion of central nervous system. Ocular and serological findings must be considered together for diagnosis. Pyrimethamine and sulphonamides are effective in the treatment of acute cases; however, they have no effect on chronic cases. It is not advised to use corticosteroids alone, but they may be used together with their depo-forms and other antimicrobial drugs. In addition, physical methods such as, laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy can be employed when drug treatment is not effective.
