TitelRe-activation of toxoplasmosis post-steroid treatment of ocular tuberculosis – a case report
DoelWe present a rare case of toxoplasmosis re-activation post steroid treatment of ocular tuberculosis (TB).
MethodesA 37-year-old female with ocular TB was commenced on 40mg of oral steroids after failing three months of anti-tuberculosis treatment. After two weeks of steroid treatment, the patient reported a significant decline in her vision.
ResultatenA new white retinitis lesion was identified in the macular region of the posterior pole of the left eye. Toxoplasmosis serology was positive and the patient was treated with azithromycin, which resolved the lesion at the macular.
ConclusieThe patient developed retinal atrophy on the fovea and is unlikely to have any improvement in vision in her left eye.
