Abstract
- Clinical picture of congenital Toxoplasma gondii has been presented in 20 children. The infection was diagnosed in 18 children in the first and in 2 children in the sixth month of life. Clinical symptoms were observed in as many as 12 children. The most frequent symptoms were those concerning central nervous system, organ of vision in the form of hydrocephalus, spastic paresis, epilepsy, intracranial calcification, choroiditis, retinitis and vision impairment. The presented analysis indicates an urgent need of introduction of screening in pregnant women and infants and widespreading of prophylactic activity aiming at raising awareness of the existing threat of T. gondii infection.
