Resumo
Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii is the etiological agent of a parasitic parasitic disease of universal
distribution, with infected individuals in all countries. The main forms of contagion are through the
ingestion of different parasite evolutionary forms present in raw meats or undercooked, unfiltered
water, unpasteurized milk, contaminated soil handling and contact with infected cats. Clinical
disease is less frequent and the most severe forms can be found when congenital transmission
occurs and in immunocompromised patients. When the fetus touches this infectious agent and
survive, it can present several problems such as: restriction in the intrauterine growth, premature
birth, microcephaly, hydrocephalus, brain calcifications, pneumonitis, hepatosplenomegaly, skin
rash, intellectual disability, among others. The consequences to the fetus are higher in the first
trimester of pregnancy and the transmissibility in the third trimester is the highest. The degree of
commitment of the newborn will depend on the gestational period in the moment of the first
transmission of the illness and the pregnant woman. Objective: The objectives of this study were
to evaluate perceptible alterations in the neuropsychomotor examination and in anthropometric
measures of newborns (RNs) of chronically infected mothers by Toxoplasma gondii. Methods:
The study was performed in a population of 79 children of puerperal mothers, 41 of them were
children of mother with infection of toxoplasmosis and 38 were children of not infected mother by
the protozoan. It was made out a sociodemographic interview with these mothers through a
questionnaire and an examination of primitive reflexes in their respective children. The study was
conducted in one maternity of standard for risk pregnancy, in the city of Goiânia, Goiás, in the
period from June 2015 to June 2016. The analysis were performed with the aid of the statistical
package SPSS®, version 23. The serologic testing for confirmation of toxoplasmosis infection and
absence of anti-T gondii in the mothers serum was made by Immunoassay of Microparticles by
Chemiluminescense (CMIA). Results: Neuropsychomotor examination the absence of reflection
escape the suffocation was found in two children of chronically infected mothers. In the
comparison of the thoracic perimeter and the cephalic perimeter 31/79 children were classified as
inadequate and two children of mothers chronically infected were too small for their gestational
age. Conclusion: In relation to the neuropsychomotor examination and anthropometric
measurements, in the group of newborn of puerperal mothers chronically infected by Toxoplasma
gondii could not detect any perceptible alterations when in comparison to the control group of
susceptible mothers.
