ICD-10 Code B58.01 | Toxoplasma chorioretinitis Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common symptoms include blurred vision, eye pain, floaters, and redness. Patients may also experience visual disturbances, which can indicate retinal involvement.

Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, including fundoscopic evaluation, and may be supported by serological testing for Toxoplasma antibodies.

Treatment usually involves a combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine, along with corticosteroids to manage inflammation. Duration of therapy is typically 4-6 weeks.

Toxoplasma chorioretinitis itself is not contagious; however, the Toxoplasma gondii parasite can be transmitted through contact with infected cat feces or undercooked meat.
