Congenital toxoplasmosis infection in an infant born to an HIV-1-infected mother

Abstract

We report the occurrence of congenital toxoplasmosis in an infant born to an HIV infected mother who had high anti-toxoplasma IgG and negative IgM at nine weeks of gestation. We briefly review available literature and discuss the possible mechanisms of transmission of congenital toxoplasmosis among HIV infected pregnant women. © 2007 by The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Contexto Publishing.
