Abstract

Serological studies are one of the important diagnostic tools used in the investigation of uveitis. This study was based on anti-toxoplasma serotitres obtained from 80 normal healthy adults and 122 patients investigated for ocular toxoplasmosis over a 42 month period. Fifteen per cent of normal healthy sera were found to have low titres (1:64 to 1:256), while 3.8% had high titres (1:1024 or higher). Thirty five eyes of 29 patients had presumed ocular toxoplasmosis based on clinical features and a typical fundal appearance. 89.6% of clinically positive ocular toxoplasmosis were found to have titres ranging from 1:64 to 1:4096. Among the suspected ocular toxoplasmosis cases with a serotitre more than or equal to 1:256, at least 77% had clinical ocular toxoplasmosis.
