What are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for three months, but upon a careful examination, I found some problems. What are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after getting pregnant, toxoplasmosis infection is usually asymptomatic. Some symptoms are mild, while others may have symptoms similar to the flu, such as fever, runny nose, and swollen lymph nodes. If toxoplasmosis is contracted after pregnancy, it may lead to severe deformities, resulting in miscarriage or premature birth. Therefore, if you become pregnant, it is important to pay attention to enhanced prenatal examinations and avoid contact with many cats and dogs.
