Toxoplasmosis is a leading cause of retinochoroiditis. Conventional multidrug therapy using sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine, and folinic acid is increasingly difficult to procure and administer safely.
To evaluate the efficacy of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, a fixed-combination antibiotic, patients with active toxoplasmosis were treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS) with or without adjunctive clindamycin and prednisone for 4 to 6 weeks.
All patients in this study (n = 16) had resolution of active retinochoroiditis and had improved vision, with an average gain of 5.2 lines of vision. Two patients developed a drug allergy.
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole appears to be a safe and effective substitute for sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine, and folinic acid (Leucovorin) in treating ocular toxoplasmosis.
弓形虫病是视网膜脉络膜炎的主要病因。使用磺胺嘧啶、乙胺嘧啶和亚叶酸的传统多药疗法越来越难以安全获取和给药。
为评估复方新诺明(一种固定组合抗生素)的疗效,对活动性弓形虫病患者使用复方新诺明(复方磺胺甲恶唑片)治疗4至6周,部分患者加用克林霉素和泼尼松。
本研究中的所有患者(n = 16)活动性视网膜脉络膜炎均消退,视力改善,平均视力提高5.2行。两名患者出现药物过敏。
在治疗眼部弓形虫病方面,复方新诺明似乎是磺胺嘧啶、乙胺嘧啶和亚叶酸(甲酰四氢叶酸)的安全有效替代品。
