Once a TORCH examination or screening is organized on a newborn, it is assumed that the child has been exposed inside utero to atleast one of the several organisms that can source minor or subclinical illness in the mother but then again causing disturbing damage to the infant [8].
The intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii causes the most predominant chronic infection named as Toxoplasmosis which is spread to almost one third of the world’s human population [10]. The characterization of the infection is done by non-specific symptoms along with the development of cysts that may persist in hidden form in several organs. Primary infection is generally subclinical but then in few patients the enlargement of cervical lymph nodes or ocular disease can be observed. Pregnant women who get their contagion while gestation, the fetuses and the neonates who are infected congenitally, the patients who have less immunity, and those with chorioretinitis are the groups of individuals in whom the analysis of toxoplasmosis is very necessary. The determination of acute infection during gestation in a pregnant woman is a common …show more content…
Syphilis is a disease transmitted sexually (acquired syphilis) and vertically (congenital syphilis) via placenta from the mother to the fetus. Syphilis is caused by a bacterium named Treponema pallidum. T. pallidum is not culturable and it is an exclusively human pathogen, in spite of the fact that it causes experimental infections when inoculated in monkeys and rats. Since it is destroyed by heat and lack of humidity, it does not survive for very long out of its environment, Clinical Manifestations include Early Congenital Syphilis (symptoms at 1-2 months of age), Maculopapular rash, “snuffles,” maculopapular rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, thrombocytopenia, anemia, meningitis, chorioretinitis, osteochondritis, etc. Pencillin used as drug which is administrated in dosages [11, 12, 16 and
