Introduction
Congenital toxoplasmosis has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, but it is subclinical in approximately 80% of infected newborns.1 Although multiple risk factors are present, maternal infection is primarily attributed to the consumption of meat or other edibles contaminated with oocyst of toxoplasma. There is an increasing risk of transplacental transmission and decreasing severity of infection with increasing gestational age.2,3 The classic triad2 of congenital toxoplasmosis is chorioretinitis, intracranial calcifications, and hydrocephalus. In our case none of the classical symptoms were seen and this type of presentation with severe haemolytic anaemia and
hepatosplenomegaly is rare and only a few cases like these have been reported.
