Abstract

Prenatal diagnosis of toxoplasmosis gondii in twin pregnancies has been described
twice. In both cases they were accomplished by prenatal blood sampling of the
foetuses. We report the first prenatal diagnosis with a discordant result in a
dizygotic pregnancy. One of the foetuses died in utero and the other was born
unaffected at term.
