title: [Congenital toxoplasmosis due to maternal reinfection during pregnancy].
abstract: Reinfection with Toxoplasma gondii is exceptional but can lead to transmission to the fetus when it occurs during pregnancy. We present a case of congenital toxoplasmosis in a young baby born to an immunocompetent mother who had been immunized against toxoplasmosis before pregnancy. The presence of residual IgG-specific antibodies does not always mean an absolute protection against a new toxoplasma infection. During the pregnancy, the patient was advised to follow the hygienic and dietary preventive measures even though the previous test results were consistent with past toxoplasma infection.
