ABSTRACT

Toxoplasmosis is a very common infection in our environment. The congenital form is the most worrisome, as it causes neurological and ocular lesions, leading to late sequelae, and may also cause abortions and death of the newborn. The objective of the study was to analyze the incidence of Congenital Toxoplasmosis in newborns in the State of Rondônia, Western Amazonia, in the period corresponding to 4 (four) years. The blood collection method was used on filter paper and the Elisa technique for the capture of Toxoplasmosis IgM. The results found in 102,963 newborns who underwent toxoplasmosis, 126 presented alterations. It is concluded that Congenital Toxoplasmosis in Rondônia is 1: 817 on newborns triates. Keywords— Congenital Toxoplasmosis. Newborns. Rondônia. Western Amazon.
