ABSTRACT
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in all patients treated with a diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis at the Eye Center of Villa Clara from January 1 to December 31, 2012 with the objective of determining clinical and epidemiological aspects of this disease. The sample consisted of a total of 27 patients, and the information was collected through the individual medical history. After analyzing the data, the results showed that the most affected age group was that of 30-44 years, with a male predominance. It was also determined that there was a prevalence of homes with poor sanitary conditions, and animal ownership in a large number of patients. In most cases, acquired toxoplasmosis was diagnosed. All patients had some degree of initial visual impact, but with a final visual recovery in which the largest number of patients was located in the range of 0.4 and more. The most common complication was secondary glaucoma.REFERENCES
