dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate patients with activation of toxoplasma retinochoroiditis during pregnancy and ocular findings in newborns. A total of 17 pregnant patients who were clinically and serologically diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis were retrospectively reviewed. After birth, ocular findings for all infants were recorded. The mean age of the patients was 29.08 +/- 5.71 years. In all cases, activation was present in only one eye. In 13 cases, anterior uveitis was associated with posterior uveitis. Visual acuity in all cases prior to treatment was 0.3 +/- 0.21 and increased to 0.55 +/- 0.29 after treatment. The mean gestational age of the patients was 19.76 +/- 8.71 weeks at the time of hospital admission. No case of toxoplasmic ocular involvement was identified in the infants on postnatal examination. In the case of toxoplasma retinochoroiditis during pregnancy, appropriate treatment and follow-up is very important to protect the newborns and to prevent impaired vision in mothers.en_US
