Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology
  • Neonatology

Context:

  • Toxoplasmosis is a widespread parasitic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii.
  • Transplacental transmission leads to congenital toxoplasmosis, a significant cause of fetal loss.
  • While most congenital toxoplasmosis cases are asymptomatic, a subset presents with severe systemic manifestations.

Purpose:

  • To report a case of congenital toxoplasmosis with multiple systemic manifestations in a preterm newborn.
  • To highlight the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation in suspected cases of congenital toxoplasmosis.

Summary:

  • A preterm infant diagnosed with congenital toxoplasmosis at a tertiary care center exhibited numerous systemic complications.
  • The diagnosis was confirmed during the neonatal intensive care unit stay.
