Ocular Toxocariasis in Adult Caucasian Patients: Clinical Presentations and Treatment Outcomes

CONCLUSION: OT has no pathognomonic sign and atypical presentations were not infrequent in this adult Caucasian cohort. Serum antibodies were rarely positive, stressing on the importance of ocular sample analysis, especially in case of atypical features. Serum antibodies may prove useful in forecasting the rapidity of inflammation clearance. Antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory treatment was safe and efficient in most cases.PMID:38133947 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2023.2295530
