Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine if quantitative competitive polymerase chain reaction can be used to diagnose ocular toxoplasmosis with certainty. METHODS: We examined the vitreous humor of a patient with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis by using quantitative competitive polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The number of Toxoplasma gondii in the vitreous humor was quantified by quantitative competitive polymerase chain reaction. CONCLUSION: Quantitative competitive polymerase chain reaction was useful for diagnosing ocular toxoplasmosis.
