Discordant prenatal diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis in a dizygotic pregnancy.
Prenatal diagnosis of toxoplasmosis gondii in twin pregnancies has been described twice. In both cases they were accomplished by prenatal blood sampling of the foetuses. We report the first prenatal diagnosis with a discordant result in a dizygotic pregnancy. One of the foetuses died in utero and the other was born unaffected at term.
