Untreated congenital toxoplasmosis remains an important cause of neurologic and ocular disease worldwide. However, congenitally infected infants may not have signs and symptoms their physicians recognize, leading to delayed diagnosis and missed opportunities for treatment. We describe a pair of twins diagnosed with congenital toxoplasmosis at 11 months of age following incidental detection of leukocoria in one twin.
未经治疗的先天性弓形虫病仍然是全世界导致神经和眼部疾病的一个重要原因。然而,先天性感染的婴儿可能没有其医生能够识别的体征和症状,导致诊断延迟和错失治疗机会。我们描述了一对双胞胎,在其中一个双胞胎偶然发现白瞳后,于 11 个月大时被诊断出患有先天性弓形虫病。
