Judged by the cases studied at the Hospital de Pediatría, congenital toxoplasmosis may be transmitted to several descendants and the infection capacity of the mother persists for a long time. The possibility of toxoplasma infection should be investigated in cases of hydrocephalus, convulsions, microcephalia, ocular lesions or pictures of neonatal hepatitis. To explain invasion to the central nervous system by Toxoplasma gondii, a pathogenic hypothesis is offered.
