Abstract

 This article aims to evaluate the diagnostic methods for congenital toxoplasmosis. This is an integrative review using the VHL, SciELO, LILACS and PubMed as databases over the last 5 years. 272 articles on the topic were evaluated with an emphasis on a synthesis of the most recent knowledge and greater scientific consistency. We found that, despite the performance of real-time PCR, it is relevant to consider less invasive methods, as it depends on amniocentesis.
