All 3 of these sera came from males with unilateral grayish fundi. We demonstrated the value of the direct immunofluorescent assay (DIFA) on vitreous specimens from 7 cases of Toxoplasma retinitis. One vitreous specimen under electron microscopic examination revealed bradyzoites of T. gondii. In addition, a few cases of keratoconjunctivitis corneal ulcer with endophthalmitis, due to P. insidiosum, Ps. pseudomallei and Mycobacterium chelonei, were also diagnosed.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyArticleSCOPUS
