Abstract

A pediatric patient with well documented acquired toxoplasmic optic neuritis is presented. Use of immunoglobulin M immunofluorescent antibody studies allow easier identification of recently acquired toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmic optic neuritis and retinitis should be considered along with toxoplasmic meningitis or encephalitis as complications of acquired toxoplasmosis. Therapy is available which may decrease the duration of visual symptomatology and reduce residual visual impairment.

摘要

本文介绍了一名有充分记录的获得性弓形虫性视神经炎的儿科患者。免疫球蛋白M免疫荧光抗体研究的应用使近期获得性弓形虫病的识别更加容易。弓形虫性视神经炎和视网膜炎应与弓形虫性脑膜炎或脑炎一并视为获得性弓形虫病的并发症。现有治疗方法可能会缩短视觉症状的持续时间并减少残余视力损害。
