Distinguishing swept-source optical coherence tomography findings in active toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To define the swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) features which distinguish ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) from other forms of retinochoroiditis.

Methods

This is a prospective diagnostic study enrolling 43 eyes of 43 patients with active toxoplasmic (TOXO) retinochoroiditis matched to 54 eyes (54 lesions) with non-TOXO retinochoroiditis evaluated by structural SS-OCT.

Results

The finding of retinal hyper-reflective round deposits, sub-lesional choroidal thickening, and sub-lesional retinal pigment epithelium elevation were more likely to be found in TOXO lesions with a positive likelihood ratio of 45.2 (95% CI: 6.45-316.56), 23.86 (95% CI: 6.09-93.36), and 9.79 (95% CI: 4.22-22.7), respectively. The presence of each of these findings was associate
