Cerebral blindness and oculomotor nerve palsies in toxoplasmosis

American Journal of Ophthalmology
W B WilsonJ H Deck

Abstract

We studied the clinicopathologic and neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of central nervous system toxoplasmosis in two patients who were being treated with immunosuppressive chemotherapy, one for renal transplantation and the other for systemic lupus erythematosis. Both pateints had oculomotor nerve palsies and later developed visual loss from cerebral involvement. Multifocal central nervous system toxoplasmosis appeared as a complication of their systemic diseases.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
