Serpiginous choroiditis-like picture due to ocular toxoplasmosis.

Objective: To report an atypical presentation of ocular toxoplasmosis in the form of serpiginous choroiditis-like picture in an immunocompetent individual.

Methods: null Methods: A 32-year-old man with blurred vision in the left eye showed serpiginous choroiditis-like appearance. Fundus fluorescein angiography and relevant laboratory tests including anti-toxoplasma serology and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in aqueous humor were performed.

Results: The serology in blood and PCR in aqueous humor were positive for Toxoplasma gondii infection. The patient was treated with anti-toxoplasma antimicrobials and systemic steroids. At the end of six weeks of treatment the fundus lesions had healed well, with good visual recovery.

Conclusions: Serpiginous choroiditis-like picture can be an atypical manifestation of ocular Toxoplasma gondii infection.
