Atypical Bilateral Multifocal Congenital Toxoplasmosis Retinochoroiditis: Case Report With Literature Review: Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, Volume 8, Issue , January-December 2020.
BackgroundToxoplasmosis gondii is ubiquitously present on earth and infection, including congenital infection, is common. Neurological, developmental, and ocular effects can be devastating in the congenital toxoplasmosis population. At present, there is no standard, nation-wide neonatal screening for this disease in the United States.Case PresentationA 17-month-old Caucasian female presented to our institution by way of referral for macular scarring. She was diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation and born with low birth weight and microcephaly at an outside institution, but no systemic workup was conducted at that time. On ocular examination, she was found to have nystagmus and extensive multifocal chorioretinal pigmented scars involving the macula and peripheral retina in both eyes with fibrous vitreous strands extending between scars in the right eye. Toxoplasmosis immunoglobulin G was found to be highly positive. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed supratentorial intracranial calcifications.ConclusionsOur patient presented with severe chorioretinal lesions, microcephaly, and nystagmus with a positive immunoglobulin G toxoplasmosis titer. She did not receive any evaluation, including TORCH infectious panel workup, on being born with low birth weight and microcephaly. There are currently no national programs in place for toxoplasmosis to be included in routine neonatal screening, despite the grave sequelae of congenital infection or that studies in other countries have shown cost-effectiveness in early screening and treatment.
