Infected with Toxoplasma, how long to do the check?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Infection with Toxoplasma gondii generally takes 3-4 weeks to detect Toxoplasma antibody through testing. Generally, Toxoplasma infection in pregnant women may cause fetal malformations. In this case, it is recommended to test for Toxoplasma antibody IgM and IgG. The first-line treatment is spiramycin, which should be taken for 2 weeks continuously. This medication is safe for the fetus during the early stages of pregnancy, and the fetus also has good tolerance to this drug. Avoid contact with pets such as cats and dogs.
