[Relation between toxoplasmosis and orofacial clefts in children].
The authors performed a serological observation of toxoplasmosis by using the methods of IFT, CFT and ELISA in 118 mothers and their children with orofacial clefts. The results were compared with those gained in the control group of healthy mothers and their children. Titre means of toxoplasma antibodies in inflicted mothers and their children were higher than in the control group. The results were evaluated statistically. The authors assume that a certain proportion of orofacial clefts may be induced by toxoplasmosis. (Tab. 6, Ref. 13.).
