[Late death in congenital toxoplasmosis].
In spite of a known toxoplasmosis infection rate of up to 90% of the population of the Federal Republic of Germany published T-cases decrease steadily. T-infection during gravidity may cause more pathologic alterations in the infant cerebrum than is commonly assumed. Medico-legal aspects are very rare. A case of connatal toxoplasmosis in a 19 months old infant was found at exhumation (16 days p.m.). In the cerebrum T-parasites, terminal colonies and calcified spots were observed. Specific morphological and immunohistological findings lead to the diagnosis. The medico-legal problems of this case are discussed.
