| Popis: | Toxoplasmosis is a common cause of abortion, stillbirths, premature births, neonatal deaths and perinatal mortality. Serological tests requiring 5 ml clotted blood are specific and should be performed together with blood grouping and Wassermann tests on all antenatal patients. The increased incidence of positive serological findings in mongoloid and retarded children is significant and warrants further investigation. Routine antenatal diagnosis and treatment of all suspected and confirmed cases, should be instituted. |
