摘要：Dear Editor-in-Chief: The etiological agent of this antropozoonosis is a protozoan named Toxoplasma gondii, discovered in 1908 by Nicolle and Manceaux. T. gondii may cause a severe life threatening disease, resulting in brain lesions or diffuse encephalitis.
The first phase of the study comprised of a batch of 30 patients, both males and females, HIV infected in AIDS clinical immunological phase, registered with the HIV department of Oradea Infec-tion Disease Hospital; all patients were permanent residents of Bihor County. During 2012 the T. gondii serological profile was determined. For those infected with HIV (in AIDS clinical immunological phase) and T. gondii (acute form of the disease at the time of our evaluation or in the past) it was completed an eye examination (fundus), as to assess the possible modifications of chorioretinitis. For those presenting specific modification, the investigations were supplemented by Optical Coherence Tomography.
