Why is it important?
Our report emphasizes the possible manifestation of ocular toxoplasmosis as papillitis in the initial phase.
Perspectives
The main lesson taken from the present case study is that ocular toxoplasmosis may have an initial presentation of pure papillitis, especially in regions endemic for the disease, and early specific treatment is necessary to prevent damage to the retina.
