title: Congenital toxoplasmosis after maternal infection before or slightly after conception.
abstract: We report a newborn with typical lesions of congenital toxoplasmosis. Retrospectively, the time of infection could be located to or even before conception. A diagnostic work-up should be performed in every newborn whose mother presents persistent high antibody titers against toxoplasma during pregnancy.
