Description

Ocular toxoplasmosis is an infection of the eye caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It can lead to inflammation of the retina and may result in vision loss if not treated appropriately.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to ocular toxoplasmosis simply as 'toxoplasmosis' without specifying the ocular aspect. It is important to clarify the context to avoid confusion with other forms of toxoplasmosis. Stick to the formal term 'Toxoplasmosis Ocular' in clinical settings.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with Toxoplasmosis, Ocular after experiencing vision changes.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con Toxoplasmosis Ocular después de experimentar cambios en la visión.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing ocular toxoplasmosis with other types of toxoplasmosis; misunderstanding the severity of ocular symptoms; mispronouncing 'toxoplasmosis' as 'toxoplasma'.
