Resumen

La toxoplasmosis ocular es una enfermedad que puede tener graves consecuencias visuales. El objetivo es presentar un caso clínico de toxoplasmosis ocular bilateral severa en paciente alérgica a sulfamidas en el que la reactivación monolateral de la enfermedad responde de forma favorable ante el tratamiento con clindamicina intravítrea y corticoterapia oral. Se muestra como la administración de clindamicina mediante inyecciones intravítreas semanales supone una alternativa terapéutica segura en aquellos casos de toxoplasmosis ocular severa y/o en los que existe contraindicación para el tratamiento clásico. La clindamicina intravítrea es una alternativa terapéutica segura con resultados clínicos favorables.
