Congenital toxoplasmosis

Тодорхойлолт

A disease caused by an infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii in utero. This disease is characterised by chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus, intracranial calcifications, anaemia, or neurological deficits that develop after birth. This disease may present at birth with jaundice, premature birth, hepatosplenomegaly, myocarditis, pneumonitis, or rash. Transmission is by vertical transmission. In the fetus, confirmation is by identification of Toxoplasma gondii in amniotic fluid; in the neonate, confirmation is by identification of Toxoplasma gondii in body fluids or tissues, or detection of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii.
