    Extractions: a Simple Facts Sheet from the AIDS Treatment Data Network Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite called toxoplasma gondii. A parasite is any organism that depends on another organism to survive. Many illnesses are caused by parasites. Up to 40% of people in the US have been exposed to the toxoplasma parasite. Common sources of infection are undercooked meat (particularly pork, lamb and venison), cats, birds and other animals. The parasite can also be found in soil contaminated by animal feces. Toxoplasmosis most often affects the brain. Less commonly, toxoplasmosis can affect the eyes, lungs and other parts of the body. A healthy immune system controls the parasite and prevents illness. A damaged immune system is less able to prevent illness. People with less than 100 T4 cells are at the greatest risk for toxoplasmosis. A test can tell if you have been infected with the toxoplasma parasite. The test looks for antibodies that your immune system makes to stop the parasite from causing illness. Both people who have been exposed and people who haven't can avoid the toxoplasma parasite by: making sure that any meat is cooked until it is no longer pink inside; wearing gloves while gardening or working with soil or sand; and wearing gloves and a mask when changing cat litter. You can also ask an HIV-negative friend or family member to change the litter. The litter should be changed daily. There is no need to give up a pet cat, but you should avoid adopting or handling stray cats. Pet cats should be fed canned or dried commercial cat foods or well cooked table food, not raw or undercooked meats. Hands and any surfaces that come into contact with raw meat or vegetables should be washed.

Drug Library Drug Information Drug Search Drug Interactions Image Database Pill Identifier Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Toxoplasmosis is found in humans worldwide, and in many species of animals and birds. 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.

    Extractions: High-Risk Pregnancy Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the single-celled parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Although many people may have Toxoplasma infection, very few have symptoms because the immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness. Babies who became infected before birth can be born with serious mental or physical problems. Toxoplasmosis often causes flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph glands, or muscle aches and pains that last for a few days to several weeks. Mothers can be tested to determine if they have developed an antibody to the illness. Fetal testing may include ultrasound, and testing of amniotic fluid or cord blood. Treatment may include antibiotics. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following measures to help prevent toxoplasmosis infection: Wear gloves when you garden or do anything outdoors that involves handling soil. Cats, who may pass the parasite in their feces, often use gardens and sandboxes as litter boxes. Wash your hands well with soap and warm water after outdoor activities, especially before you eat or prepare any food.

    Extractions: April FELINE TOXOPLASMOSIS Toxoplasma gondii infection is common in cats and people throughout the world. The seroprevalence in cats and people varies with the region and country, but is commonly 30- 40%. Once infected with T. gondi i, the organism probably remains in tissues for life. Fatal and serious clinical syndromes can occur in cats infected by T. gondii. CLINICAL PRESENTATION Intestinal toxoplasmosis. Cats are commonly infected by ingestion of T. gondii bradyzoites in tissues of prey species. The intestinal cycle is completed in about 10 days or less, and then oocyst shedding almost never reoccurs. Some experimentally inoculated cats develop self-limiting, small bowel diarrhea; this is presumed to be from enteroepithelial replication of the organism. However, detection of T. gondii oocysts in feces is rarely reported in naturally exposed cats with or without clinical disease. Thus, the intestinal phase of feline toxoplasmosis appear relatively unimportant clinically. By the time most cats seroconvert and become antibody positive, the oocyst shedding period has ceased. A seropositive cat is therefore a minimal zoonotic risk. Other forms of toxoplasmosis.

Prognosis for cure is fair to poor; visual impairment depends on the location of the healed scars (i.e., macula or periphery). Educational adaptations include the use of magnification. IMPLICATIONS: Pregnant women who own cats should refrain from handling the litter during pregnancy, since the fetus could become infected in utero. All cat owners should exercise caution in disposing of cat litter; scrupulous personal cleanliness is essential. Children who have cats as pets should be encouraged to wash their hands often, especially after caring for their cats. Back to Contents ... Back to TSBVI Education

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii How does a person acquire toxoplasmosis? The disease can be acquired by ingesting the Toxoplasma gondii organism in raw or undercooked infected meat or in raw milk. The organism is also shed in the feces of infected cats, and humans can become infected by the ingestion of food, water, or dust contaminated with cat feces. When the Toxoplasma gondii organism is shed in cat feces, it takes 1 to 5 days to become infective and then may remain infective for months to years. Transplacental infection (from pregnant mother to fetus) can also occur, and can have serious consequences for the pregnancy. What are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis? The infection usually causes no illness at all when acquired after birth. In that minority of individuals who do become ill, the most common signs are fever and swollen lymph nodes. Much less frequently seen manifestations are skin rash, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, pneumonia, and central nervous system problems. The illness tends to be more severe in persons with a deficient immune system. When a pregnant woman passes the infection to her fetus, serious abnormalities or death of the fetus may result.

    Extractions: VIH y SIDA VIH y SIDA Toxoplasmosis Revisión, mayo 1.999 Qué es la toxoplasmosis ? La toxoplasmosis es una enfermedad infecciosa ocasionada por un parásito, el Toxoplasma gondii , protozoario intracelular obligado. La toxoplasmosis puede ser aguda o crónica, sintomática o asintomática. La infección aguda recientemente adquirida suele ser asintomática en niños mayores y adultos; y en caso de presentar síntomas y signos (enfermedad aguda) estos suelen ser de corta duración y autolimitados. En la mayoría de los casos persiste como quistes en los tejidos pero la persona no suele tener manifestaciones clínicas (infección crónica), pero en otros casos se presenta con formas clínicas persistentes o recurrentes (enfermedad crónica). El parásito se presenta bajo tres formas diferentes: trofozoíto (antes taquizoíto), quistes tisulares y ooquistes. Estos últimos sólo se producen en los intestinos de los huéspedes definitivos. El ciclo vital del Toxoplasma tiene como huésped definitivo al gato, o miembros de su familia, que tras ingerir alguna de las formas del parásito sufre en las células epiteliales de su intestino un ciclo asexual y luego un ciclo sexual, eliminándose en sus heces millones de ooquistes. Cuando estos esporulan se vuelven infecciosos pudiéndose infectar otros animales por su ingestión. Por debajo de 4 grados C, o por encima de 37, no se produce la esporulación y los ooquistes no son infecciosos. Cómo se transmite ?

    Extractions: Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a single-celled protozoan. Although the organism can be found in many species of mammals and birds, the cat is the only species that ingests this parasite (by eating raw meat or unwashed vegetables) and then spreads it via its feces. Toxoplasmosis is a concern because it can cause harm to the developing human fetus if the mother is exposed during pregnancy. Although many women are told by their physicians to avoid contact with cats during pregnancy, it is important to know that cats are not a high risk source of toxoplasmosis infection. Many more people are exposed to the parasite by ingesting raw or undercooked meats, and avoiding meat or cooking it thoroughly is a better way to avoid the disease than steering clear of felines. Common sense, hygiene, and a few extra precautions should be practiced by the pregnant woman who has a cat. Your veterinarian can perform a fecal analysis and blood test to determine if your cat is infected. Following the tests, keep the cat indoors; if you allow your cat to roam outdoors she could subsequently pick up the parasite from the bird and small animals she may prey upon (another good reason to keep her indoors!). Since it takes 1-5 days following defecation for the infectious stage of the parasite to develop, if you empty and disinfect the litter box daily you should not be exposed to infection. However, pregnant women should follow these precautions: Do not eat any raw or uncooked meat. Have your cat tested by your veterinarian to be sure she is free of infection. Then keep her indoors so that she won't eat infected meat. Also, do not feed your cat any raw meat. If you can, let someone else change the litter box daily. If this is not possible, wear rubber gloves and wash your hands thoroughly following the daily task. Avoid contact with cats other than your own and stay away from sand boxes and gardening soil in which fecal contamination may exist. Also discuss toxoplasmosis with your personal physician, who will probably recommend performing a titer, a simple blood test that indicates previous or existing exposure to toxoplasmosis.

On occasion, there are some early non-specific symptoms such as lethargy, depression, loss of appetite and fever, especially in kittens and young adult cats. The most outstanding sign in most cats is feline pneumonia, which shows up as respiratory distress that continues to increase in severity. Toxoplasmosis can also affect the eyes and the central nervous system, producing inflammation of the retina, possible abnormal pupil size, and even blindness, lack of coordination, personality changes, circling, head pressing, ear twitching, seizures, difficulty in chewing and swallowing food, seizures, and loss of control over urination and defecation functions. Hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, can also occur which can bring about episodes of vomiting, diarrhea, prostration and jaundice, which is yellowing of the mucous membranes. The pancreas can also become inflamed and the lymph nodes may become enlarged.

It is a common disease that is seldom recognized because most infected people do not become sick. In those who have symptoms of the disease, the illness is mild, with swollen lymph nodes and some discomfort. Estimates suggest that one-third of Canadians have been infected. The number of toxoplasmosis cases of occupational origin is not known. What causes toxoplasmosis? The microorganism Toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis. This protozoan parasite infects wild and domestic animals including birds, cats, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and poultry. Cats are the most common source of the Toxoplasma protozoa that are transmitted to other animals or people.

Infection can also occur by ingesting the oocysts in cat feces. Water-borne transmission was suspected in a recent outbreak in Victoria, although the literature contains only one other report of this type of transmission. In immunocompetent hosts, infection is usually asymptomatic. Symptoms, when they do occur, are mild and nonspecific (eg, lymphadenopathy, fatigue, fever, malaise, and myalgia).
