https://doi.org/10.22627/2072-8107-2014-13-2-52-56

Abstract

We examined 69 infants with clinically manifested forms of congenital toxoplasmosis diagnosed in theStavropolregion in the period from 1992 to 2012. The clinical course was characterized by a predominance of severe forms of congenial toxoplasmosis, high mortality rate (39,1%), predominant damage the central nervous system (100%) and adverse neurological outcome. Surviving children developed disabilities at the outcome of congenital toxoplasmosis such as hydrocephaly (71,4%), microcephaly (9,5%), cerebral palsy (52,4%), episindroma (16,7%), mental retardation (19,0 %) complete or partial blindness (28,6%).
