Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is one of the most serious blood coccidian parasite infections in veterinary and medical medicine, contributing to ill health financial losses infecting about one-third world’s population. It can produce life-threatening infections, despite fact that are asymptomatic. Several studies Sudan reveal prevalence toxoplasmosis was high especially among pregnant women res...

Most intrauterine infections are acquired through the placenta, although transvaginal bacterial infections may also occur. The TORCH eponym remains a good reminder for these entities, identifying toxoplasmosis, others, rubella, cytomegalic virus, and herpes simplex. A second H for HlV or perhaps the words A (AIDS) TORCH should now be used, as AIDS becomes the most common maternally transmitted ...

Background & Aims: Maternal infections with parvovirus B19 and cytomegalovirus (CMV) maybe associated with intrauterine fetal death. The aim of this study was to compare frequency of CMV & Parvovirus B19 Infections in intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) and normal pregnancy. Methods: In a case-control study in Afzalipour Hospital during 2006 placental biopsies were collected from 70 cases of IUFD a...

The obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. In women C. trachomatis can establish persistent genital infections that lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and sterility. In contrast to natural infections in humans, experimentally induced infections with C. trachomatis in mice are rapidly cleare...

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare skin disorder, the cause is not known but intrauterine infections, drugs, chromosomal and genetic disorders, vascular compromise and trauma have been implicated. Clinically the diagnosis is made based on physical findings indicative of intrauterine disruption of skin development. We present an eighteen hours old neonate with Aplasia cutis congenita, this ...

Fetal damage following cytomegalovirus (CMV) intrauterine infection is mostly linked to primary infection. To differentiate primary infection from nonprimary infection, immunoglobulin M (IgM) tests are not reliable enough, and measurement of the IgG avidity appears to be the method that is the most widely used at present. In the present study the performance of the Vidas (bioMérieux) avidity as...
