[Zoonoses in reproductive medicine]

After reviewing the importance of three zoonoses, namely toxoplasmosis, listeriosis and brucellosis, Authors focus on their experience in prophylactic treatment of the acquired toxoplasmosis in 72 gravidae with high risk pregnancy and the history of toxoplasmosis. Listeriosis and brucellosis currently seem not to bear a clinical significance as perinatal risk factors. Toxoplasmosis, however, should be taken into account a cases of unexplained pregnancy loss. The Authors' experience suggests the positive effect of the combined prophylactis antitoxoplasmic treatment in the selected cases.
