Toxoplasma gondii is found in many animals, and it is a kind of parasite. Usually, newborn babies are weak, and if they have pets at home without proper deworming treatment, it will easily lead to toxoplasma gondii infection in the child, and we will talk about toxoplasmosis in newborn babies next.

Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in newborns

Newborns are susceptible to infection because of their weaker body, and toxoplasmosis is a parasite, so it's easy to get infected, so what are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis in newborns?

Symptoms that infants with congenital toxoplasmosis will have are a variety of congenital malformations, including microcephaly, hydrocephalus, spina bifida, anophthalmia, microphthalmia, and cleft palate. Toxoplasmosis infection in newborns may cause neurological or fundus lesions in the brain, which can seriously affect the child's health, and some recoveries may have sequelae such as epilepsy and visual impairment. Most neonates infected with toxoplasmosis can be cured, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital as soon as possible to check, clear diagnosis, you can take spiramycin, enhancement of the United Sulfur and other drugs for treatment.

Toxoplasma gondii encapsulation and viable toxoplasma gondii are often found on the body and in the oral cavity of cats. Direct contact with cats is susceptible to infection. Dogs are intermediate hosts of Toxoplasma gondii and can also transmit Toxoplasma gondii, but its feces and excreta are not contagious, so simple contact with a dog is not infected with toxoplasmosis. However, if you are tested for toxoplasmosis infection because it was detected in the mother, then your doctor may continue to follow up with your newborn for toxoplasmosis infection.

Can neonatal toxoplasmosis be cured

Neonatal toxoplasmosis is actually a parasitic disease.

Toxoplasmosis can be cured, and sometimes it can heal itself without treatment, but whether neonatal toxoplasmosis can be cured depends on the host's immune function status and the affected organ, neonatal infection with toxoplasmosis is supposed to be congenital, that is, the mother is infected during pregnancy, and then transmitted to the fetus through mother-to-child transmission. Eighty percent of all fetuses are recessive chronic toxoplasmosis patients who carry it for life. However, a few develop stillbirth deformities and mental retardation.

Not every newborn is actually tested for toxoplasmosis. In addition, when the baby was born with the immunity is relatively poor, so it should also be the baby anti-Toxoplasma gondii treatment, which can ensure that the child will not be due to Toxoplasma gondii virus caused by the sequelae and so on, and parents should do a good job of preventing the child secondary bacterial infection fever, which is easy to bring a very bad effect on the baby's brain.

Toxoplasma gondii infection in newborns

Toxoplasma gondii infection in newborns is usually from the mouth, so how is it?

Toxoplasma gondii neonatal infection, also known as toxoplasmosis, is a zoonotic **** disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. In the human body is mostly hidden infection; the onset of the clinical manifestations of the complexity of its symptoms and signs and lack of specificity, easy to cause misdiagnosis, the main invasion of the eyes, brain, heart, liver, lymph nodes and so on. After pregnant women are infected, the pathogen can infect the fetus through the placenta, directly affecting the development of the fetus, causing serious malformation, the risk of which is 10 times greater than that of uninfected pregnant women, affecting eugenics, and it has become one of the most serious diseases of congenital infections in human beings, and it has attracted widespread attention. This disease is also closely related to AIDS.

Congenital toxoplasmosis should be distinguished from other diseases in the TORCH syndrome (rubella, cytomegalovirus infection, herpes simplex, and toxoplasmosis). It is also necessary to distinguish it from syphilis, Listeria monocytogenes, or other bacterial and infectious encephalopathies. Fetal erythroblastosis, sepsis, infectious mononucleosis, and lymph node tuberculosis are differentiated. It relies mainly on pathogenetic and immunologic tests.

Methods of neonatal toxoplasmosis infection

Although it is said that there is a certain probability that the child will get neonatal toxoplasmosis, but it can be prevented.

For the case of cats, generally the most likely parasites such as toxoplasmosis, for pregnant contact with cats with toxoplasmosis, then it is easy to be infected by toxoplasmosis and thus cause the baby after birth of a disease called TORCH, if you have had a baby, there is no direct contact with cats, generally will not be infected with toxoplasmosis, do not need to worry too much about, do not need to use a special treatment of the. If you want to better prevent your baby from developing toxoplasmosis, first of all, women must not often contact small animals during pregnancy, after all, toxoplasmosis in animals is very serious.

Toxoplasmosis disease is more serious, usually like a small baby body resistance is not yet, so it is best to go to do a check. Babies infected with toxoplasmosis will have persistent fever, maculopapular rash, hemorrhagic rash and many other symptoms, and even gastrointestinal symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal tympanites, mucous blood stools, but also chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, appendicitis, enteritis and many other symptoms.
