Case report of a neonate with ocular toxoplasmosis due to congenital infection: estimation of the percentage of ocular toxoplasmosis in Greece caused by congenital or acquired infection.
[congenital toxoplasmosis]
We
report
a
case
of
a
newborn
male
child
with
congenital
toxoplasmosis
.
During
pregnancy
seroconversion
occurred
and
positive
titers
of
antitoxoplasmic
antibodies
(
immunoglobulin
M
and
G
)
were
found
in
the
mother
,
in
the
third
trimester
.
She
received
treatment
with
spiramycin
.
After
birth
,
the
neonate
presented
with
chorioretinitis
and
intracranial
calcifications
.
The
neonate
received
treatment
with
pyrimethamine
,
sulfadiazine
,
and
leucovorin
for
1
year
.
In
addition
to
using
a
previously
described
method
,
we
report
for
the
first
time
in
Greece
an
estimation
regarding
the
percentage
of
ocular
toxoplasmosis
caused
by
congenital
or
acquired
infection
.
We
estimate
that
ocular
toxoplasmosis
in
Greece
is
caused
in
7
%
of
the
cases
by
congenital
infection
,
and
in
93
%
of
the
cases
by
acquired
infection
.
