In a period of 5 years, 21 children with ocular lesions caused by toxoplasma (chorioretinitis due to toxoplasma) were seen at "Pedro Kourí" Tropical Medicine Institute. Of the 21 children, 5 (23,8 %) had lesions in both eyes and 16 (76,1 %) in one eye (9 in the left eye and 7 in the right one). 9 children (42,8 %) initially had active lesions that responded satisfactorily to medical treatment whereas 12 (57,1 %) came to the hospital with healed lesions that did not require any treatment. They were all followed up as outpatients with favorable evolution in all cases.
