OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors associated with ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) in a cohort of Congolese patients with uveitis.
METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2020 and July 2021 in two ophthalmic clinics in Kinshasa. Patients with a diagnosis of uveitis were enrolled in the study. Each patient underwent an interview, an ophthalmological examination and serology testing. Logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors for OT.
RESULTS: 212 patients were included in the study with a mean age at presentation of 42.1±15.9 years (limits: 8-74 years) and a sex ratio of 1.1:1. OT concerned 96 patients (45.3%). The age of the patients below 60 years (p=0.001, OR=9.75 CI 95% 2.51 to37.80)), the consumption of cat meat (p=0.01, OR=2.65 CI 95% 1.18 to 5.96)) and undercooked meat (p=0.044, OR=2.30 CI 95% 1.02 to 5.21)) and living in rural area (p=0.021, OR=11.4 (CI 95% 1.45 to 89.84])) were identified as risk factors for OT.
CONCLUSION: OT affects more young people. It is associated with dietary habits. Informing and educating the population is necessary to avoid infection.
