SUMMARY The writer gives an account of a typical case of congenital toxoplasmosis of a girl 2½ years old. An investigation revealed that both the mother and the father as well as the maternal grandmother, all of whom were clinically healthy, revealed positive neutralization tests against toxoplasma. The remaining examined members of the family were negative, except for an aunt who showed uncertain reaction. The mother is again pregnant. Sulfathiazole treatment of the mother has been started.
