Resumo: | AIMS: This is a brief guide on toxoplasmosis in pregnancy and on congenital toxoplasmosis for public health students and professionals. Its aims are to present key points of the transmission and diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection, and to summarize the evidences about management of pregnant women and infants with suspected or proven toxoplasmosis. SOURCE OF DATA: Studies were identified from PubMed (1990-2009), and through contact with experts in the field, including our Congenital Toxoplasmosis Research Group. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: Review of studies shows that preventive measures reduce the risk of congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection and improve the perinatal outcomes and the prognosis of children. Being usually asymptomatic, or having inespecific clinical manifestations, acute primary toxoplasmic infection almost always goes unnoticed. Therefore, its detection is based on routine serology. Serological screening for toxoplasmosis during pregnancy should start at the first prenatal visit, to detect cases of acute infection (and to start treatment as soon as possible) and cases of seronegative pregnant women (who must be monitored throughout pregnancy and receive education about primary prevention measures). CONCLUSIONS: This review highlights the importance of prevention and diagnosis of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, as well as of monitoring neonates born to mothers with serological tests compatible with acute infection, even in the absence of signs and symptoms of toxoplasmosis. |

Depois de apresentar os pontos principais de transmissão e diagnóstico da infecção pelo Toxoplasma gondii, busca-se resumir as evidências sobre o manejo de gestantes e de neonatos com toxoplasmose suspeita ou confirmada. FONTE DE DADOS: os estudos foram identificados no PubMed (1990-2009) e por meio do contato com especialistas no assunto, incluindo pesquisas realizadas pelo nosso Grupo de Pesquisa em Toxoplasmose Congênita. SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: a revisão dos estudos mostra que as medidas de prevenção reduzem o risco de infecção congênita pelo Toxoplasma gondii e melhoram os desfechos perinatais e o prognóstico das crianças. Sendo na maioria das vezes assintomática, ou apresentando um quadro clínico inespecífico, a infecção toxoplásmica aguda primária passa quase sempre despercebida. Por isso, sua detecção é baseada na sorologia de rotina. A triagem sorológica para toxoplasmose durante a gravidez deve começar na primeira visita pré-natal, para que sejam detectados os casos de infecção aguda (e iniciar o tratamento o mais brevemente possível) e os casos de gestantes soronegativas (que devem ser monitoradas durante toda a gestação e instruídas sobre medidas de prevenção primária). CONCLUSÕES: esta revisão ressalta a importância da prevenção e do diagnóstico da toxoplasmose na gestação, assim como do acompanhamento de neonatos de mães com sorologia compatível com infecção aguda, mesmo na ausência de sinais e sintomas sugestivos de toxoplasmose.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2010-04-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/5917Scientia Medica; Vol. 20 No. 1 (2010): Special issue on Toxoplasmosis; 113-119Scientia Medica; v. 20 n. 1 (2010): Número especial sobre Toxoplasmose; 113-1191980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
