Abstract
A case of congenital toxoplasmic chorioretinitis was diagnosed (specif ic-immunoglobulin G [IgG] and -IgM comparative Western blot analysis) in a baby whose mother was immune during pregnancy. Maternal sera show ed an increase in specific IgG and emergence of both IgM and IgA durin g pregnancy. The mother was probably reinfected through contact with k ittens.
