- W1569445386 abstract "Earlier studies have shown that infants with untreated congenital toxoplasmosis and generalized or neurologic abnormalities at presentation almost uniformly develop mental retardation, seizures, and spasticity. Children with untreated subclinical disease at birth have developed seizures, significant cognitive and motor deficits, and diminution in cognitive function over time.To determine neurologic, cognitive, and motor outcomes for children with congenital toxoplasmosis who were treated for approximately 1 year with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine.Systematic, prospective, and longitudinal neurologic, cognitive, and motor evaluations were performed for 36 individuals with congenital toxoplasmosis. These infants were born between December 1981 and January 1991 and were treated with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine for approximately 1 year beginning in the first months of life. Compliance with medications was documented. These individuals were evaluated in a standardized manner in a single center in the first months of life and at approximately 1, 3.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 years of age. Their cognitive function was compared with the cognitive function of a nearest-age, same-sex sibling when such siblings older than 3.5 years were available for study.Signs of active central nervous system infection (eg, cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] pleiocytosis, hypoglycorrhachia, elevated CSF protein, and, in some instances, seizures and motor abnormalities) resolved during therapy. Six of the 36 children had perinatal seizures. Four had their anticonvulsant therapy discontinued successfully within the first months of life, and two additional children developed new seizures at 3 and 5 years of age. Tone and motor abnormalities resolved by 1 year of age in 12 of 20 infants who exhibited abnormalities of tone and motor function at their initial neonatal evaluation. By February 1992, 29 of the 36 children had been evaluated when they were 1 year old, and 23 (79%) had a mean +/- standard deviation Mental Developmental Index (MDI) of 102 +/- 22 (range, 59 to 140). Six (21%) had a measure of their cognitive function that was less than 50. Results of sequential IQ tests, performed at 1.5 year intervals or greater, did not differ significantly over time (P > .05). Seven children with MDIs greater than 50 were compared with sibling controls; they had scores of 87 +/- 11 (range, 68 to 97) and their siblings had scores of 112 +/- 15 (range, 85 to 132) (P = .008). Seventeen of 18 children without hydrocephalus and six of eight children with obstructive hydrocephalus responsive to shunting had normal or near-normal neurologic and developmental outcomes. Children with hydrocephalus ex vacuo present at birth, with high CSF protein, and with lack of response to shunting have done less well.Neurologic and developmental outcomes were significantly better for most of these treated children than outcomes reported for untreated children or those treated for only 1 month (P < .001). Although the level of cognitive function for treated children was less than for their uninfected siblings (P < .008), there was no significant deterioration in neurologic and cognitive function of the treated children tested sequentially. These favorable treatment outcomes justify systematic identification and treatment of pregnant women with acute gestational Toxoplasma infection and young infants with congenital toxoplasmosis." @default.
