We have described an infant born with severe hydrops fetalis due to congenital toxoplasmosis. Although uncommon, toxoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hydrops fetalis, particularly when the preliminary clinical work-up suggests a nonimmunologic basis for the hydrops. Although the clinical outcome in an infant as severely affected as this one will remain poor, the therapy for toxoplasmosis has improved over the years, and with quick diagnosis of the disease, a less severely affected infant may have a better prognosis.
我们描述了一名因先天性弓形虫病出生时患有严重胎儿水肿的婴儿。尽管罕见，但在胎儿水肿的鉴别诊断中应考虑弓形虫病，特别是当初步临床检查提示水肿的非免疫性基础时。虽然像这样严重受影响的婴儿临床结局仍较差，但多年来弓形虫病的治疗已有改善，并且随着疾病的快速诊断，受影响较轻的婴儿可能有更好的预后。
