Popis: | Toxoplasma gondii infection, when acquired as an acute infection during pregnancy, can have substantial adverse effects on fetuses. We present the case of a 19-year-old pregnant woman with no previous relevant medical history. The ultrasound in the third trimester showed brain and abdominal abnormalities such as congenital hydrocephalus, volume loss of the brain parenchyma, and hepatosplenomegaly. The laboratory test showed positive IgM for Toxoplasma gondii. MRI was performed for better assessment and it shows the lesions in the central nervous system and other organs with more details. |
