Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can people completely cure toxoplasmosis without leaving any aftereffects?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, sulfadiazine and pyrimethamine can be used in combination. The combined treatment course is approximately 2 to 4 weeks. Pyrimethamine is excreted very slowly and is prone to cause toxicity, leading to folic acid deficiency and bone marrow hematopoietic suppression. Therefore, folic acid should be taken orally during medication. By examining the pregnant woman's blood, the concentration of alpha-fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin, and free estriol in maternal serum can be detected, and combined with the pregnant woman's age, weight, gestational week, and other factors to determine the risk coefficient for the fetus suffering from congenital hypothyroidism or neural tube defects. The best time is between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
