Ocular Toxoplasmosis in Korean

Abstract
|
|
|
Toxoplasma appears to have no specific restriction throughout the warm vertebrates, and seems to be equally unrestricted in its geographical distribution.
Recently, a few studies were reported in order to evaluate the status of Toxoplasma infections in Korea.. Some of these studies showed up to 31.7% of cases of uveitis being due to Toxoplasma.
Between May 1975 and October 1975, the author had experienced 6 cases of ocular toxoplasmosis, from which he could not isolate any organism, but there was presumptive evidence of toxoplasma infection in typical ocular findings, positive serological tests for toxoplasmosis, and absence of other causes. There were old healed punched-out lesions localized at the posterior pole in 4 cases, and active exudative retinochoroiditis in 2 cases. The hemagglutination test was positive in all 6 cases.
