(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Maya Manso, Angela Patricia; Gutiérrez Alcalá, Isabella; Lemos Paredes, Lyda Marcela; Angulo Mosquera, Jorge Mario (Director); Hurtado Palacios, Isabel Cristina (Directora)
Congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) is an infection that can affect fetuses during gestation. It occurs by vertical transmission of the parasite T. gondii from mother to fetus. Although 75% may be asymptomatic, others present severe neurological, psychomotor and ocular lesions. In Colombia, the incidence of CT is a public health problem. The high proportion of seronegativity in women of childbearing age is one of the main risk factors. Currently, the therapeutic management of CT is the subject of study and comparison. However, in the Colombian context, there is a lack of literature. This review seeks to establish a parallel between the different treatments, clinical outcomes and adverse effects.
