Toxoplasmic granuloma within an epiretinal membrane in a patient with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis
Purpose: tachyzoites in a patient with recurrent retinochoroiditis. Case description: tachyzoites within the granuloma. Conclusion: organisms within a granuloma confined to the ERM may have biological and therapeutic implications. ERM may act as a barrier, protecting the parasite from systemically delivered drugs that rely on vascular access to the lesion.
