A rare case of feline congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection: fatal outcome of systemic toxoplasmosis for the mother and its kitten.
[congenital toxoplasmosis]
This
report
describes
a
case
of
fatal
systemic
toxoplasmosis
in
a
2
.
5
-
year
-old
mixed
breed
pregnant
cat
and
its
kittens
.
The
pregnant
cat
was
presented
to
the
gynecology
clinic
with
symptoms
of
dystocia
.
The
ultrasound
examination
revealed
the
presence
of
five
fetuses
in
the
uterus
,
three
of
which
were
not
alive
,
and
consequently
a
cesarean
section
was
performed
.
However
,
the
mother
cat
and
the
remaining
two
live
kittens
died
two
and
ten
days
after
cesarean
section
,
respectively
.
Pathologically
,
severe
alveolar
edema
,
tachyzoite-like
structures
in
the
alveolar
macrophages
and
multifocal
necroses
in
the
lungs
of
mother
cat
were
observed
.
An
intense
Toxoplasma
gondii
immunopositive
reaction
was
observed
in
the
cytoplasms
of
alveolar
macrophages
,
bronchial
and
bronchiolar
epithelia
,
necrotic
foci
in
the
lungs
,
and
Kupffer
cells
of
the
liver
.
PCR
analyses
amplified
T
.
gondii
DNA
in
tissue
samples
of
the
mother
cat
and
kittens
.
The
present
study
provides
strong
evidence
for
a
transplacental
transmission
of
T
.
gondii
infection
with
deadly
outcome
for
the
mother
cat
,
fetuses
and
kittens
.
As
to
the
authors
'
knowledge
,
this
report
is
the
first
case
of
fatal
congenital
toxoplasmosis
in
domestic
cats
in
Turkey
.
