“…18 Ocular toxoplasmosis in AIDS patients is usually unilateral and often, but not invariably, associated with significant anterior uveitis and vitritis, 19 as noted in the current case. The retinal lesions may be single, multifocal, or diffuse (mimicking acute retinal necrosis) and not associated with or adjacent to an old chorioretinal scar.…”

“…21 The reported prevalence of cerebral toxoplasmosis (CTP) in immunosuppressed patients with ocular toxoplasmosis ranges from 20 to 80%. 19,[22][23][24] Owing to the greater sensitivity, MRI may be the neuroimaging of choice for the initial radiological evaluation of AIDS patients with neurological illness. However, CT scan of the brain may show single or multiple ring-enhancing lesions in CTP.…”

“…Active toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis in patients with AIDS will rapidly resolve on treatment (Holland et al 1988, Cocherau-Massin et al 1992. Whether longterm maintenance therapy may be discontinued with immune recovery following the use of anti retroviral drugs, as is now the case following cytomegalovirus infections, awaits evidence from clinical trials.…”

“…Aproximadamente metade dos casos de pacientes com AIDS e toxoplasmose ocular apresenta concomitantemente manifestações de acometimento neurológico. Em contrapartida, os pacientes com doença neurológica pela toxoplasmose têm 10% a 20% de chance de apresentar o quadro ocular (8) . Na AIDS, a retinocoroidite toxoplásmica caracteriza-se geralmente pela presença de lesões branco-floconosas, com quase nenhuma inflamação vítrea ou hemorragia retiniana, sendo as lesões cicatriciais pouco pigmentadas (9)(10) .…”
