摘要
Macrophage-like cells (MLC) have a fundamental role in the maintenance of immunosurveillance, response to inflammation and tissue injury in the retina. MLC can be visualized in vivo with conventional en face optical coherence tomography (OCT). The aim of this study is to describe this population of cells in active toxoplasmosis. We present two cases of active toxoplasma retinochoroiditis imaged at 2 time points, where the MLC were threshold after image processing and averaging for removing background and noise. In both patients the MLC collocated with the area of ischemia at the level of the choriocapillaris and retinal vessels.
