Abstract

A study of 31 observations of congenital toxoplasmosis shows that there is a clear relationship between the cerebral lesions as observed on CT scan, neurological symptoms, and the date of maternal infection. The appearance of the CT scan is characteristic of cases with early maternal seroconversion (before the 20th week of pregnancy), of cases with maternal infection between the 20 and 30th week of pregnancy, and of cases with late maternal seroconversion (after the 30th week of pregnancy). Preventive maternal treatment does not change the pattern of the cerebral lesions observed on CT scan and thus proves ineffective in conferring real protection.
