Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the frequency of eye-related symptoms in patients with mucous membrane pemphigoid through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature.
- - It analyzed data from 35 studies involving 1,439 patients, revealing that most affected individuals are women around 60 years old, with 90% experiencing bilateral eye issues, and highlighting trichiasis and entropion as the most common symptoms.
- - The findings suggest that while severe complications like visual impairment are less common, they still require attention in patients suspected of having ocular manifestations of mucous membrane pemphigoid.
Purpose: To present an atypical case of severe bilateral ocular toxoplasmosis with systemic involvement that initially mimicked an autoimmune etiology, posing challenges to its diagnosis and treatment.
Case Report: A 39-year-old immunocompetent male was admitted to the hospital due to a presumed pulmonary thromboembolism concomitant with an abrupt onset of vision loss. Initial differential diagnoses included antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus, prompting the administration of corticosteroid pulses and rituximab.
