Personal Observations on Adult Acquired Toxoplasmosis

Ocular toxoplasmosis among Negro immigrants in London.

“…In a series of 240 cases of probable ocular toxoplasmosis, Hogan and others (1964) demonstrated a high incidence of equatorial or more peripheral lesions, which accounted for nearly half the lesions found. Compared with these American series, the finding of relatively few peripheral lesions among Caucasians in the present study may seem surprising; however, most European investigators have regarded the posterior pole as the preferred location for the chorioretinal lesions of toxoplasmosis (Tolentino and Bucalossi, 1954;Thalhammer, 1957;Perkins, 1961;Remky, 1962;Frangois, 1963;Bartorelli, Berengo, Bencini, and Frezzotti, 1964).…”
