RESUMEN
Among 3,734 women, hospitalized for giving birth, 58.9% had a positive Toxoplasma serological test (DA). No clinical expression of congenital toxoplasmosis was observed in 4,311 newborns; seven had a false positive ISAGA test with cord blood. Only 24% of the women were aware of congenital toxoplasmosis and only 3% were serologically examined before. Health education should be intensified and serological tests more commonly performed especially in the risk groups.

Hundred sixty four measurements of the arterial blood pressure were performed in 53 newborns aged between 1 and 9 days. sphygmomanometer-S used for this purpose is a microcomputer which measures arterial blood pressure basing on the amplitude of the registered pulse waves. Obtained results of the systolic and mean blood pressure values were comparable with those reported by other authors whereas diastolic blood pressure values were somewhat lower.
