Abstract
Congenital toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite, which is transmitted via the placenta from mother to fetus. The risk of fetal infection increases with advancing gestation, while the risk of severe fetal disease decreases with gestation. Infection may result in miscarriage, preterm labour or stillbirth. Manifestations in the fetus vary and can include serious and progressive motor, hearing, visual and cognitive issues. Here we report a case of congenital toxoplasmosis detected in the placenta of a preterm infant.
