Cats are the definitive host of the parasite. Human infection results from ingestion of contaminated soil, careless handling of cat litter, ingestion of raw or undercooked meat (lamb, pork, and beef), transmission from a mother to a fetus through the placenta (congenital infection), or by blood transfusion or solid organ transplantation. Over 80-90% of primary infections produce no symptoms. The incubation period for symptoms is 1 to 2 weeks. Congenital toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with Toxoplasma gondii in a pregnant woman, with up to 50% of such infections transmitted to the fetus. Signs of congenital infection may be present at birth or develop over the first few months of life.

4. Toxoplasmosis toxoplasmosis is an infection that passes from animals to humans, sometimes without causing any symptoms. Learn more about this infection in this article http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/parasitic/toxoplasmosis.html

KidsHealth Parents Infections Parasitic Infections (Worms, Lice, etc.) You've probably heard about the infection toxoplasmosis in relation to avoiding it during pregnancy by taking precautions with certain foods and the cat's litter box. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventing (CDC), some 60 million people in the United States could have toxoplasmosis. Many of them may not even know it because it can cause an infection that either has no symptoms or symptoms that are common to other illnesses. So what is toxoplasmosis, exactly? It's an infection caused by a microscopic parasite that can live inside the cells of humans and animals, especially cats and farm animals. How Is It Spread? People can catch toxoplasmosis from: touching or coming into contact with infected cat feces (cats get the infection from eating infected rodents, birds, or other small animals) eating raw or undercooked meat that's infected eating uncooked, unwashed fruits or vegetables that have been contaminated by manure being born with it (a woman who gets a toxoplasmosis infection while pregnant may pass the parasite on to her unborn child through the bloodstream) Although the infection doesn't normally spread from person to person (with the exception of pregnant women, who can pass it on to their fetuses), in rare instances toxoplasmosis can contaminate blood transfusions and organs donated for transplantation.

Congenital Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by a protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii. Infections of humans are common, and are usually asymptomatic. In two cases infection may be serious: If the infection is transmitted to the fetus during pregnancy (Congenital Toxoplasmosis Infection or reactivation of a Toxoplasmosis in patients with immunodeficiancy (AIDS,...): Measures of prophylaxis, early detection of the infection and treatment can avoid Congenital Toxoplasmosis and many long term effects. On this page You find a short introduction on Congenital Toxoplasmosis. Links lead to further information, You can return to this main-page or follow to other topics. The consequences of the infection of the fetus can be very different: between subclinic and very serious. The classical triad of Congenital Toxoplasmosis is Chorioretinitis Intracranial calcification Hydrocephalus But even the subclinical infection can lead to late-onset problems, most common in the eyes. For diagnosis You are interested in the following questions: Is the mother infected during (or very shortly before) pregnancy?

TOXOPLASMOSIS Active Toxoplasmosis Inactive Toxoplasmosis Scar SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS The symptoms associated with ocular toxoplasmosis include unilateral, mild ocular pain, blurred vision and new onset of floating spots. Patients often describe their vision as hazy. Clinical findings may include granulomatous iritis, vitritis, optic disc swelling, neuroretinitis, vasculitis and retinal vein occlusion in the vicinity of the inflammation, in the actively involved eye. Funduscopically, active toxoplasmosis presents with white-yellow, choreoretinal lesions and vitreous cells. There may be old, inactive lesions in the fellow eye. Toxoplasmosis can produce cystoid macular edema and choroidal neovascularization. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Toxoplasmosis is a disease provoked by the obligate intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. It is found in a variety of mammal and bird hosts. The most common intermediate host is the cat. It is one of the most frequent causes of retinochoroiditis in humans, with more than 60 percent of the United States population and up to 75 percent of the world's general population possessing some seropositive findings. The systemic symptoms found in congenital toxoplasmosis consist of convulsions, calcification of the arterioles and choreoretinitis. In adults, toxoplasmosis is often contracted without sickness. A small percentage of individuals encounter self-limiting, flu-like symptoms at the time of inoculation.

Toxoplasmosis People can get toxoplasmosis by: 1) eating food, drinking water, or having contact with soil contaminated with tool from an infected cat, or 2) eating inadequately cooked meat that is contaminated with the parasite. Women who become infected during or just before pregnancy can pass the infection to their unborn infants. Most infected people have no symptoms and are never diagnosed. People with weakened immune systems can develop severe toxoplasmosis, which results in damage to the eye or the brain. Infants who are infected before birth can have serious mental or physical handicaps. Most people do not need to be treated unless they are pregnant or have a weakened immune system. Pregnant women, women who are planning to become pregnant, and persons with weakened immune systems should take precautions to avoid infection. What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis is a common parasitic infection worldwide. People at risk for severe infection are pregnant women and persons with weakened immune systems.

A single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii causes a disease known as toxoplasmosis. While the parasite is found throughout the world, more than 60 million people in the United States may be infected with the Toxoplasma parasite. Of those who are infected, very few have symptoms because a healthy person's immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness. However, pregnant women and individuals who have compromised immune systems should be cautious; for them, a Toxoplasma infection could cause serious health problems. How do people get toxoplasmosis? A Toxoplasma infection occurs by: Accidentally swallowing cat feces from a Toxoplasma -infected cat that is shedding the organism in its feces. This might happen if you were to accidentally touch your hands to your mouth after gardening, cleaning a cat's litter box, or touching anything that has come into contact with cat feces. Eating contaminated raw or partly cooked meat, especially pork, lamb, or venison; by touching your hands to your mouth after handling undercooked meat.
