Incidence of death from congenital toxoplasmosis in 0-4-year-old children in Japan.
[congenital toxoplasmosis]
Congenital
toxoplasmosis
is
caused
by
Toxoplasma
gondii
.
The
incidence
of
death
due
to
congenital
toxoplasmosis
in
Japan
from
1974
to
2007
was
calculated
using
the
autopsy
database
of
the
Japanese
Society
of
Pathology
and
vital
statistics
from
the
Ministry
of
Health
,
Labour
and
Welfare
.
Two
neonatal
deaths
due
to
congenital
toxoplasmosis
were
reported
during
that
time
.
As
there
were
161
,
195
neonatal
deaths
during
this
period
and
32
,
465
autopsies
were
performed
,
the
yearly
neonatal
death
from
congenital
toxoplasmosis
was
calculated
as
2
×
161
,
195
/
32
,
465
/
34
=
0
.
29
and
the
autopsy
rate
as
32
,
465
/
161
,
195
=
0
.
2014
(
20
.
14
%
)
.
The
calculated
number
of
annual
deaths
in
infants
was
0
.
82
and
in
children
aged
1
-
4
years
it
was
2
.
09
;
thus
,
although
few
,
deaths
from
congenital
toxoplasmosis
do
still
occur
in
neonates
,
infants
,
and
young
children
.
Therefore
,
obstetricians
and
pediatricians
should
be
aware
of
the
potential
for
congenital
toxoplasmosis
,
and
pregnant
women
should
make
every
effort
to
avoid
T
.
gondii
infection
.
