Patient's question:
How great is the harm of toxoplasmosis infection in late pregnancy to the baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding this issue, I would like to offer some suggestions based on your situation. First, it is important to rule out any abnormal prenatal tests. You should undergo proper medical examinations at a formal hospital. This is because infected pregnant women, if not treated promptly, have approximately a 50% chance of transmitting the infection to the fetus through the placenta. Currently, medication treatment generally involves the use of spiramycin, which belongs to the macrolide class and has minimal toxic effects, making it relatively safe for pregnant women. However, high-dose use may cause gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is recommended that you receive proper treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
