Toxoplasma gondii and Epstein Barr retinochoroiditis in an immunocompromised patient

Authors

We report the case of a patient aged 52 years old, who has been hospitalised at Ophthalmic Hospital in Turin (Italy) with entrance diagnosis of right eye anterior and posterior uveitis and retinopathy of suspect micotic origin. Patient underwent vitreal biopsy. Laboratory evaluation with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method performed on vitreous sample showed the presence of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and Toxoplasma gondii (TG). PCR should be performed either in eyes samples or in blood samples, furthermore, it is essential to include EBV and TG in the differential diagnosis of ocular lesions.
