Abstract
Toxoplasma infection is a common cause of infectious uveitis. It usually produces a characteristic fundal appearance, with evidence of previous inflammation. However, it may occur in an atypical and aggressive form. Steroids administered to salvage vision may then worsen the clinical course. Retinal biopsy may be diagnostic in cases where doubt exists. We illustrate these points with two cases.Keywords
