We report a case of the prenatal diagnosis of fetal cataract due to congenital toxoplasmosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case. We discuss the long-term ocular sequelae of the condition and how they should affect prenatal counselling.
We present a case of prenatal diagnosis of congenital rubella. After birth, in addition to traditional serologic and clinical examinations to confirm the infection, we could identify the virus in the "first fluid aspirated from the oropharynx of the newborn", using polimerase chain reaction (PCR). We propose that this first oropharynx fluid (collected routinely immediately after birth) could be used as a source for identification of various congenital infection agents, which may not always be easily identified by current methods.
