| Summary: | Objectives: To describe the course of ocular toxoplasmosis during pregnancy.
Methods: This is a retrospective, noncomparative case series of four pregnant women who were treated for ocular toxoplasmosis during pregnancy.
Results: All of the participants had violent and treatment-resistant toxoplasma retinochoroiditis during pregnancy, leaving three of them with decreased visual acuity in spite of aggressive therapy. Termination of pregnancy appeared to help the recovery in two patients.
Conclusion: Pregnant state may provoke the recurrence of ocular toxoplasmosis. |
