DOI: 10.1080/09273948.2022.2037658
Abstract: Ocular toxoplasmosis occurs secondary to a retinal infection by Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite. Typical ocular toxoplasmosis lesions are characterised by a unilateral, focal retinal lesion, which is usually described as necrotising retinitis… read more here.
