TOXOPLASMOSIS
A 26-year-old primigravida was admitted to the birthing unit at 39 weeks’
gestation in active labor at 6 cm dilation. During her second trimester she
experienced a mononucleosis-like syndrome. Uterine fundal growth lagged
behind that expected on the basis of a first-trimester sonogram. Serial
sonograms showed symmetrical intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).
She delivered a 2,250 g male neonate who was diagnosed with
microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, and chorioretinitis.http://ebookobgyne.net
