Abstract

We describe a strategy used in this case to detect congenital toxoplasmosis early in pregnancy. Combination of chorionic villus sampling and early amniocentesis with an in vitro cell culture technique makes prenatal diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis possible from the end of the first trimester of pregnancy.
