[Practical problems posed by toxoplasmosis during pregnancy].
The occurrence of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy raises numerous problems. Determination of the time of the maternal infection is the first problem since we know that the frequency and gravity of fetal involvement vary according to the term of the pregnancy. Then, with information obtained from prenatal diagnostic tests (sonogram, amniocentesis, fetal blood sampling), it is important to recognize infected fetuses and advocate a management which goes beyond therapeutic abortion. Finally, the final problem is the follow-up of these children; in fact, after all these diagnostic and therapeutic measures, it is unfortunate that many children become lost to follow-up after the first year.
