Toxoplasmic Encephalomyelitis

Implications of TORCH Diseases in Retinal Development—Special Focus on Congenital Toxoplasmosis

“…The first reported case of infantile toxoplasmosis with confirmed vertical transmission dates back to 1942 (Cowen et al, 1942). Currently, it is known that the congenital infection is the most severe form of toxoplasmosis and occurs in the offspring of mothers that contracted primary T. gondii infection during pregnancy.…”

Congenital Toxoplasmosis: a Report of Two Cases

“…The cerebrospinal fluid in many of the cases reported has been xanthochromic with pleoytosis and a high protein content Zuelmer, 1944;Adams, Adams, Kabler, and Cooney, .1948). Rarely toxoplasma has been found in smears (Wolf and Cowen, 1937;Cowen, Wolf, and Paige, 1942).…”

“…Diarrhoea and vomiting usher in the disease in some infants. Myocarditis has frequently been reported, usually without obvious clinical evidence of its presen, although one infant descnbed by Cowen, Wolf, and Paige (1942) had oedema. A curiously unstable temperature and a diffuse maculo-papular rash in the neonatal period were also described by Cowen, Wolf, and Paige (1942).…”

Primary Tuberculosis

“…In other cases there have been severe thrombocytopenic purpura, interstitial pneumonia, vomiting and diarrhoea, fever, or a diffuse maculopapular rash. 8 Confirmation of the diagnosis has sometimes been achieved in the early case by recovery of the toxoplasma by intracerebral or intraperitoneal inoculation…”
