Patterns of Hydrocephalus Caused by CongenitalToxoplasma gondiiInfection Associate With Parasite Genetics

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Four anatomical patterns of hydrocephalus secondary to congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection were identified and characterized for infants enrolled in the National Collaborative Chicago-based Congenital Toxoplasmosis Study. Analysis of parasite serotype revealed that different anatomical patterns associate with Type-II vs Not-Exclusively Type-II strains (NE-II) (P = .035).
