congenital toxoplasmosis (medicine)


congenital toxoplasmosis
Toxoplasmosis apparently resulting from parasites in an infected mother being transmitted in utero to the foetus, observed as three syndromes: 1) acute, most of the organs contain foci of necrosis in association with fever, jaundice, hydrocephaly, encephalomyelitis, pneumonitis, cutaneous rash, ophthalmic lesions, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly; 2) subacute, most of the lesions are partly healed or calcified, but those in the brain and eye seem to remain active, inasmuch as chorioretinitis is observed in more than 80% of diseased infants; 3) chronic, usually not recognised during the newborn period, but chorioretinitis and cerebral lesions may be detected weeks to years later.
