Abstract		Fetal infection with protozoan Toxoplazma gondii in perinatal period is a serious complication and can cause serious disease in the newborn and can also influence later development. Maternal infection occurs with ingestion of soil contaminated with oocysts excreted in faeces of cats or by ingestion of pseudocysts in inadequatly cooked meat infected with T. gondii. During perinatal period infection occurs with clinical signs of fever and affects the vital organs. Infection should be confirmed by the presence of IgM with certain serological tests, clinical presentation, ultrasound and CT examination. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii in perinatal period can cause fetal death or damage. Human infection is usually asymptomatic so we must detect silent infections. We must treat infection and follow up development of the child. Preventive measures must be improved.
Summary		Okužba s parazitom Toxoplasmagonclii v perinatalnem obdobju je resen in usoden zaplet, ki lahko vpliva na zdravje novorojenčka in kasnejši razvoj otroka. Nosečnica se okuži peroralno preko okuženih rok ali z zaužitjem okuženega mesa. V perinatalnem obdobju poteka okužha s kliničnimi znaki febrilnega stauja ter prizadetostjo življenjsko pomembnih organov. Bolezen potrdimo z ustreznimi ciljanimi serološkimi preiskavami, klinično sliko ter s slikovno diagnostiko z usmerjenimi pregledi prizadetih tkiv. Nerdravljena okužba je v perinatalnem obdobju povezana z visoko smrtnostjo ali z doživljenjskimi posledicami. Potrebno je pravočasno odkriti tiho okužbo, jo zdraviri in spremljati nadaljnji telesni in duševni razvoj novorojenčka. Najpomembnejše je preventivno preprečevanje te usodne okužbe.
