toxoplasmosis prenatal
Scope note: Infección prenatal causada por el protozoo TOXOPLASMA gondii, que se asocia a lesiones del sistema nervioso fetal en desarrollo. La gravedad de esta afección se relaciona con la etapa del embarazo en la que ocurre la infección; las infecciones que se producen en el primer trimestre se asocian a un grado mayor de disfunción neurológica. Clínicamente se caracterizan por HIDROCEFALIA, MICROCEFALIA, sordera, calcificaciones cerebrales, CONVULSIONES y retraso psicomotor. Al nacer, también pueden estar presentes signos de infección sistémica, como fiebre, exantema y hepatoesplenomegalia.

Scope note: Prenatal protozoal infection with TOXOPLASMA gondii which is associated with injury to the developing fetal nervous system. The severity of this condition is related to the stage of pregnancy during which the infection occurs; first trimester infections are associated with a greater degree of neurologic dysfunction. Clinical features include HYDROCEPHALUS; MICROCEPHALY; deafness; cerebral calcifications; SEIZURES; and psychomotor retardation. Signs of a systemic infection may also be present at birth, including fever, rash, and hepatosplenomegaly. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p735)
