[Acquired toxoplasmic chorioretinitis with a late onset].
Maternal toxoplasma infection was responsible for congenital toxoplasmosis with ocular and cerebral manifestations in the infant. The acquired character of the toxoplasmosis in the 5th month of pregnancy was confirmed by serologic data and isolation of the parasite from the placenta. Five years later, an evolutive chorioretinitis was found in the mother. The toxoplasma origin of the ocular injury was proven by the study of aqueous humor. This case report is compared with the rare similar cases in the literature. The late discovery of ocular impairment is discussed.
