CONGENITAL TOXOPLASMOSIS. CLINICAL OBSERVATION

Abstract

The article presents a review of the literature and clinical observation of a newborn with congenital toxoplasmosis. The difficulties of diagnosing the asymptomatic form of congenital toxoplasmosis in the early neonatal period in one of the twins of a newborn are discussed. The authors note that a careful collection of antenatal history (nutritional culture, contact with a feline), analysis of the patient’s physical development, correct interpretation of the clinical manifestation, data from laboratory research methods and clinical alertness for congenital TORCH complex infection will contribute to the early diagnosis of the disease. Timely etiopathogenetic therapy will allow for effective treatment and early prevention of disabling complications in a patient.
