Abstract
Congenital toxoplasmosis is a less common, but even more serious part of neonatology. It is a preventable disease, yet increasingly manifested in a symptomatic form, significantly affecting especially the CNS and senses.
The prognosis is based mainly on the gestational age of the fetus at the time of maternal infection, early diagnosis and the time of initiation of prenatal or postnatal therapy. The neonatologist represents a very important place in this chain, especially for the possibility of early diagnosis of this disease, which often manifests itself for the first time in the first days or weeks after birth.
The work discusses current knowledge about the prevention, diagnosis, clinical findings and treatment of congenital toxoplasmosis, with an emphasis on the role of neonatologists in this process.
