title: [Frequency of antibodies to Toxoplasma in pregnant women and their newborn in Sao Paulo City, Brazil (author's transl)].
abstract: In 80 apparently healthy pregnant women and their newborns tested for toxoplasmosis through the dye-test (RSF) greater than or equal to 1:16, were found respectively 50% and 38.7% positives. The positive mothers had positive newborns. The major part with the same titers as their mothers or one titer lower. The negative mothers had negative healthy newborns with one exception, considered "false positive reaction". The great majority of positive newborns were found negative at the 8th month, and the other until the 12th month. It's emphazised that the maternal and the newborn serology must be done at the same time. This considerations should be remembered when asymptomatic newborns with positive serology for toxoplasmosis are discussed.
