✦ Synopsis

We report a female patient with congenital toxoplasmosis who presented with hydrops fetalis and cerebral abnormalities, detected on fetal ultrasound. Following prenatal treatment, the hydrops fetalis resolved and at four months of age she has normal growth and development. This case emphasizes the potential good prognosis in cases with congenital toxoplasmosis detected and treated prenatally.

To improve the performance of the postnatal diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis, we assessed the detection of IgA antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by ELISA, compared with that of IgM by ELISA, ISAGA, and IFAT and neosynthesized antibodies using Western blot.

We report on a male newborn infant, a compound carrier of heterozygous mutations in the FGFR3 gene causing achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia. The mother has achondroplasia and carries the common G1138 (G380R) mutation in the FGFR3 gene; the father has hypochondroplasia due to the C1620A (N540K) m
