[Influence of toxoplasma infection on the course of pregnancy and child development. Results of a prospective study].
This report gives a survey of the statistical evaluation in the combined study of "The course of gravidity and development of the child" in connection with toxoplasma infection which is sponsored by the German Research Council (DFG). In respect to the collected data it is possible to summarize as follows: 1. Neither the anamnestic nor the data of the observed gravidities allow the construction of a relationship between toxoplasma infection of a mother and the child after eliminating disturbing factors, especially that of the age (Tabelle 1-4 and Fig. 1). 2. An effect of prophylactic sulphonamide treatment in cases of latent and acute infected women has never been observed. The low number of abortions in the group of treated women is misleading because pregnant women with early abortion never received any treatment, therefore these people are included under the untreated group. 3. Up till now we have not observed a case of connatal toxoplasma infection in nearly 5,000 new born babies. After eliminating unreliable reports, abnormal developments which are thought to be related to toxoplasma infections have never been observed.
