Endolaser photocoagulation of toxoplasmosis.

Traditional medical treatment regimens for toxoplasmosis using such agents as sulfadiazine, clindamycin, pyrimethamine, and prednisone may not be effective always. Alternative methods of treatment such as diathermy and cryotherapy have been advocated. Photocoagulation has been used with some effect. In advanced cases vitreous opacification may preclude external photocoagulation technique. Two cases are presented in which vitrectomy and endolaser photocoagulation techniques were used. Endolaser treatment may be done in situations where vitreous opacification may preclude other methods.
