Toxoplasma papillitis without vitritis. A case report in an immunocompetent Congolese patient

Abstract

Papillary toxoplasmosis is rare and potentially serious. Its diagnosis must be sought, even in the absence of vitritis, before taking into account any unilateral papillary edema. Our case report highlights the importance of detailed history and clinical examination to improve diagnostic decision making such as the need for complementary investigations, especially serologic testing, in a country with relatively limited financial resources in public health.
