Incidence of toxoplasmosis in women at a London hospital.

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is an infection, congenital or acquired, caused by Toxoplasma gondii. A pilot study using toxoplasmin skin antigen was undertaken to establish the incidence of the infection in the London area as a preliminary to a larger study of the effects of the infection upon pregnancy, the foetus, and the newborn infant.
