The diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmic infection is based primarly on the characteristic of ocular findings and supportive serologic evidence. It is generally well agreed that macular lesions, involving the optic nerve, and cases with intense inflamma...
متن کاملCold urticaria associated with acute serologic toxoplasmosis.
Cold urticaria is defined as a urticarial and/or angioedematous reaction of the skin to contact with cold objects, water or air.
