[Is diagnosis of toxoplasmosis within the scope of prenatal care meaningful?].

In the course of prenatal care, the sera from 5670 pregnant women were investigated. The average infection rate in the population was 39.22%; 60.39% were seronegative. To minimise the risk involved in toxoplasmosis infection, toxoplasma-antibodies must be definitely determined during prenatal care. This should be carried out simultaneously with the determination of antibodies to the rubella virus.
