We report a case of severe toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient, characterized by pneumonia, retinochoroiditis, hepatitis and myositis. Diagnosis was confirmed by serology, T. gondii in thick blood smear and presence of bradyzoites in muscle biopsy. Treatment with pyrimethamine plus sulfadoxine was successful but visual acuity and hip extension were partially recovered. This is the first case report of severe toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient from Peru.

Purpose: To report the first case of ophthalmia due to contact with cobra venom in the Volta Region, Ghana. Methods: An ointment containing vitamin A was applied to treat the patient’s unilateral defects in the corneal epithelium and the consequent diminished visual acuity. Results: Healing of the corneal epithelium and improvement of visual acuity were observed after only 1 day. Conclusions: This case suggests that consequences of cases of cobra venom spitting in the eyes can be minimal if immediate treatment is provided.

Patch Graft

Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a rare, aerobic Gram-negative soil bacillus rarely associated with intraocular infections. With only 3 cases of ophthalmic manifestations reported so far, we are presenting the fi rst case of S. Paucimobilis, causing keratitisafter cataract surgery, from India. The organism, which was resistant to initial medical treatment, eventually responded to a patch graft and the patient improved to a final visual acuity of 20/40.
