Neonatal Hepatitis with Isolated Hepatic Calcification: A Rare Manifestation of Congenital Toxoplasmosis
Abstract
Congenital toxoplasmosis often presents with a broad clinical spectrum. Symptomatic infection is the presence of the classic triad: intracranial calcifications, hydrocephalus, and chorioretinitis. Here, we report the first case of a neonate presenting with isolated hepatic calcification and neonatal hepatitis associated with congenital toxoplasmosis. This rare case presentation emphasizes the need for meticulous antenatal screening and comprehensive neonatal evaluation in such cases. Toxoplasmosis has long-term sequelae that can be mitigated by early detection and treatment.
