  1. Fetal parameters are shown in millimetres. The results of statistical tests (F and P) were obtained with toxoplasmosis as the independent variable and maternal age and pregnancy length estimated from the date of the last menstruation as continuous predictors. BPD – biparietal diameter, AC – abdominal circumference, FL – femur length.
