Toxoplasmosis is a potentially serious fetal infection associated with maternal seroconversion of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. Follow-up and treatment vary between different countries. We present a case of congenital toxoplasmosis with unusual physiopathology and symptomatology. The mother was immunized before the beginning of pregnancy but immunosuppressive treatments for Crohn disease maintained during the pregnancy could explain toxoplasmosis reactivation in the mother and congenital toxoplasmosis. The baby presented reversible B lymphopenia and hypogammaglobulinemia.
