Congenital Toxoplasmosis: A Review
Neonatal Network, 2015AbstractAcute infection of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy is detrimental to the developing fetus.

CONGENITAL TOXOPLASMOSIS IN TASMANIA
Medical Journal of Australia, 1978In a prospective study, 9037 cord sera from Tasmanian children were tested using the Toxoplasma indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). There were 494 positive reactors at the screening titre of 1:64. These reacting sera were titrated out and were also tested in the immunoglobulin M (IgM) Toxoplasma IFAT.
