We would like to thank Dr Park1 for his comments on our work and for bringing these issues to our attention and of the other readers of the British Journal of Ophthalmology. All the points that were made are valid and we will strive to evaluate them properly and better our research. His interpretations with respect to all three points raised are correct. Regarding patient 16, the sample is negative by PCR analysis, which was wrongly indicated in the text as positive, but as pointed out by Dr Park, this does not detract from our findings. We thank Dr Park for highlighting that our study is innovative and provides new insight into the pathogenesis of ocular toxoplasmosis.
