Treatment of ocular toxoplasmosis in pregnancy

Objectives
To describe the course of ocular toxoplasmosis during pregnancy.

Methods
This is a retrospective, noncomparative case series of four pregnant women who were treated for ocular toxoplasmosis during pregnancy.

Results
All of the participants had violent and treatment-resistant toxoplasma retinochoroiditis during pregnancy, leaving three of them with decreased visual acuity in spite of aggressive therapy. Termination of pregnancy appeared to help the recovery in two patients.

Conclusion
Pregnant state may provoke the recurrence of ocular toxoplasmosis.
