Acute acquired toxoplasmosis.

A case of acute necrotizing retinitis with discrete involvement in the right posterior pole was followed undiagnosed until the patient developed endophthalmitis in the right eye, loss of consciousness, high fever, and a similar picture in the left eye. Treatment with sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine, and steroids brought about a prompt resolution. When the patient died from an unrelated cause, histopathology was performed showing Toxoplasma gondii in the brain.

Retinal embolization from endocarditis.

Arterial emboli, fragmentation of both the arterial and venous blood columns, and bilateral cherry red spot were seen in the fundus of a patient with progressive onset of visual loss. Initially, the patient, a 56-year-old housewife, was thought to have temporal arteritis. Her clinical condition worsened on steroids which was subsequently discontinued when 5 out of 6 blood cultures were reported positive. Showers of microemboli were responsible for her unusual fundus findings.
