To identify maternal and clinical predictors associated with congenital toxoplasmosis in Brazilian women and their infants.
Conducted a prospective cohort study with 55 pregnant women with confirmed Toxoplasma gondii infection at IPPMG/UFRJ.
Collected sociodemographic, obstetric, behavioral, and clinical data from mothers and infants.
Classified infants as infected or exposed using serological, molecular, radiologic, and clinical criteria.
11 out of 55 infants (20%) diagnosed with congenital toxoplasmosis.
Mothers of infected infants had later diagnosis during gestation (24.3 vs. 16.4 weeks; P=0.02) and more prenatal visits (7.7 vs. 4.9; P=0.04).
Systemic symptoms like adenomegaly were more frequent in mothers of infected infants (P=0.04).
