Congenital toxoplasmosis in an African child.

Toxoplasmosis has been reported with increasing frequency during the last decade, and the various manifestations of the human disease, with particular reference to congenital toxoplasmosis, have recently been summarized by Hutchison (1949), and Wyllie, Fisher, and Cathie (1949). All the cases thus far have been reported from America or Europe, and the case of congenital toxoplasmosis described here is the first from Africa.
