  3. Congenital CMV
    Mental retardation, Spasticity, Eye abnormalities, Hearing defects, Enlarged liver
  4. Congenital toxoplasmosis
    Risk of fetopathy is reduced by more than 50% if spiramycin, which can prevent maternal-fetal transmission, is given to mothers.
  5. CMV
    Petechiae and hepatosplenomegaly thrombocytopenia and partially conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. Chorioretinitis and intracranial calcification.
  6. CMV
    jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly and microcephaly
  7. Toxoplasmosis
     hydrocephalus, seizures and chorioretinitis.
  8. Rubella
