Abstract

Determinations for decelerating the antitoxoplasma anticorps that have been effectuated for 696 uveas proved positivity at 123 aerums (17.6%). The repartition of the positive serology concerning the clinic form of the uvea has proved 48 iridocyclitis, 26 serous central corioretinals, 23 in panuveitis, 13 in posterior uveitis, 11 muscular chorioretinitis, 2 in hyalitis. Taking into consideration only the equal or less than 1:160 titrures, these have been at 7 iridocyclitis, 4 serous central chorioretinitis, 4 panuveitis, 3 posterior uveitis and 3 atrophic central chorioretinitis. It is shown that the diagnosis of ocular toxoplasma must be effectuated just corroborating the clinic data with the positive serology. The antiparasitic treatment doesn't influence upon the low titrures of serous anticorps, which generally maintain at the same value all the life.
