Descriptor toxoplasmosis ocular
Scope note: Infección producida por el protozoo parásito TOXOPLASMA en la que se produce una gran proliferación del tejido conjuntivo, la retina que rodea las lesiones sigue siendo normal, y los medios oculares límpidos. La coriorretinitis puede asociarse a todas las formas de toxoplasmosis, pero suele ser una secuela tardía de la toxoplasmosis congénita. Las lesiones oculares graves de los lactantes pueden causar la ceguera.

Scope note: Infection caused by the protozoan parasite TOXOPLASMA in which there is extensive connective tissue proliferation, the retina surrounding the lesions remains normal, and the ocular media remain clear. Chorioretinitis may be associated with all forms of toxoplasmosis, but is usually a late sequel of congenital toxoplasmosis. The severe ocular lesions in infants may lead to blindness.
