What is toxoplasmosis?
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can affect anyone but is especially dangerous for pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. It is primarily transmitted through contact with infected cat feces, consumption of raw or undercooked meat, or contaminated water.
In many cases, the infection goes unnoticed, but it can cause serious complications if not detected in time. That’s why getting tested is key for prevention and timely treatment.
Symptoms and When to Get Tested for Toxoplasmosis
In healthy individuals, symptoms may be mild or nonexistent, but in some cases, they can include:
Mild fever
Muscle aches
Swollen lymph nodes
General discomfort
Blurred vision (in cases of ocular involvement)
Who should get tested?

People with HIV/AIDS or other immunosuppressive conditions
People who have had contact with cats or consume undercooked meat
Patients with symptoms compatible with toxoplasmosis or suggestive clinical history
