I found out I was pregnant 4 weeks ago. We have two cats that have been in our home since September. When I told my OBGyn they suggested I stop cleaning the kitty litter due to an infectious disease called toxoplasmosis that is transmitted through their stool. My question is: What are the chances that I contracted it before I was pregnant (then I know there would be little risk of it hurting the baby)? And, how do I know if and when I contracted it? I know there is a test, but will it tell me how long I have been infected/immune? We've talked to our OBGyn, Vet and it was addressed in "

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Toxoplasmosis Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the one-celled protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii . Although most individuals do not experience any symptoms, the disease can be very serious, and even fatal, in individuals with weakened immune systems. Description Toxoplasmosis is caused by a one-celled protozoan parasite known as Toxoplasm a gondii . Cats, the primary carriers of the organism, become infected by eating rodents and birds infected with the organism. Once ingested, the organism reproduces in the intestines of cats, producing millions of eggs known as oocysts, which are excreted in cat feces daily for approximately two weeks. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 30% of cats have been infected by T. gondii . Oocysts are not capable of producing infection until approximately 24 hours after being excreted, but they remain infective in water or moist soil for approximately one year. When cattle, sheep, or other livestock forage through areas with contaminated cat feces, these animals become carriers of the disease. Fruits and vegetables can also become contaminated when irrigated with untreated water that has been contaminated with cat feces. In humans and other animals, the organisms produce thick-walled, dormant structures called cysts in the muscle and other tissues of the body. Most humans contract toxoplasmosis by eating cyst-contaminated raw or undercooked meat, vegetables, or milk products. Humans can also become infected when they come into contact with the

Home Up Contributors Submission Information ... Site Map Ocular toxoplasmosis occurs secondary to an infection by the protozoa, Toxoplasma gondii. Although acquired toxoplasmosis may be seen, the majority of cases are felt to be a reactivation of a congenital toxoplasmosis infection. Clinically, an active infection is characterized by an acute retino-choroiditis with a marded vitreous reaction overlying the active infection, leading to the characteristic fundus picture of the optic nerve appearing as a "headlight in the fog."(#22226) The healed lesion leads to a large scar, often with the white appearance of sclear near the center of the scar with heavy pigmentation seen peripherally (#22228, #22229). Histopathologically, the active infection is characterized by a protozoal infection of the retinal and the choroid(#9853) leading to coagulative necrosis of the retina with a diffuse granulomatous inflammation of the underlying choroid. The toxoplasma scar shows an abrupt transition of normal retina to the area of scar with extensive destruction of retina, RPE, and choroid with marked disruption of pigment(#22231).

Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a one-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii , hereafter called the "toxo organism." In humans, it may affect many different organs of the body, causing many different types of clinical signs. The respiratory system is commonly involved and pneumonia may result. The most common finding is a mild, flu-like illness that lasts a few days. Most people recover uneventfully. Even if the patient sees a physician, the illness may still be attributed to the flu unless special blood tests are run. How does it relate to pregnant women?

Risk to Baby Statistics about frequency How infection is transmitted Antibodies against infection ... Treating active Fetal Infection A Discussion of Toxoplasmosis If a woman is pregnant or plans a pregnancy within the next 6 months, only then is Toxoplasmosis of importance. For the rest of us Toxoplasmosis is of no consequence because: Toxoplasmosis almost never causes any harm to the infected individual (Unless a person has a problem with their immune system*) In over 80% of cases there are virtually no symptoms.** * = Exceptions to this can occur in individuals with compromised immune systems. Examples are: AIDS, Leukemia, Congenital Immune System problems or as a result of Chemotherapy. Then latent Toxoplasmosis can break out again often with serious consequences. (40% is the reoccurrence rate stated for AIDS patients.) ** = the other 20% experience brief mild fever and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, often indistinguishable from a low grade viral infection. Why is there an injury risk in pregnancy when there appears to be no risk of injury to a normal child or an adult?
