Extractions: Toxoplasma gondii is a common intracellular protozoan causing asymptomatic infections in most humans. Before AIDS, toxoplasmosis was of only limited concern to pediatricians. Congenital infections occurring in infants born to mothers with active toxoplasmosis were rarely observed. Now, a large number of toxplasmosis encephalitis are seen in AIDS patients caused by reactivation of previously acquired infection when the immunity decreases with the progression of AIDS. Now the significant mortality with this opportunistic infection has created new interest in treatment. In this issue we will discuss treatment of toxoplasma in immunocompetent patients and mention treatment in AIDS patients. Certain precautions diminish the possibility of acquiring toxoplasmosis, and they should be observed by high-risk groups, such as nonimmune pregnant women and immunodeficient patients. These individuals should not eat undercooked meat, should wash their hands after handling raw meat, and should avoid contact with material that is potentially contaminated with cat feces.

Extractions: RETURN TO INDEX SPANISH TRANSLATION Toxoplasmosis ("Toxo") What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis (also known as "toxo") is the name for a treatable infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii . Although more than half of all adults in the United States have been infected with this organism, it rarely causes disease unless there is damage to the immune system. In persons with normal immune function, Toxoplasma organisms remain in the body tissues as cysts which do not multiply and do not cause disease. In persons with impaired immunity, they can cause disease in the brain and other body organs. Toxoplasma infects many different types of farm animals that serve as food sources. In addition, cats transmit Toxoplasma by passing an infectious form of the parasite called oocysts in their feces.

Extractions: PRECAUTIONS: Eat meat only when it is cooked to "well done". For example, do not eat meat tartare or "rare" meat Avoid contact with materials potentially contaminated with cat excrement Have someone else dispose of the contents of your cat's litterbox and have them clean the litterbox immediately with boiling water. Do not feed your cat raw meat. Wear gloves while gardening. Wash your hands After handling bloody (raw) meat and before eating wash your hands. Keep your hands away from your eyes while preparing uncooked meat. Wash food Food that is to be eaten uncooked, such as green salads and fruits should be washed. Follow your blood antibody test In conjunction with your doctor you should be tested for Toxoplasma. If acute infection occurs, detection and treatment can protect your baby.

Extractions: TOXOPLASMOSIS AND PREGNANCY WHAT IS TOXOPLASMOSIS? Toxoplasmosis is the disease syndrome caused by a protozoan organism called Toxoplasma gondii. It affects most animals (most notably sheep, cats, and humans.), but even insects, fish, and earthworms may be carriers. Because of the risk to an unborn child, many medical doctors go so far as to recommend that pregnant women do not keep cats as pets. WHAT IS THE RISK TO AN UNBORN CHILD? A human with an acute Toxoplasma infection experiences varying degrees of illness: fever, swollen lymph nodes, muscle stiffness, joint pain, swollen liver, and spleen (manifested as a sore upper abdomen). These symptoms may be so mild as to go unnoticed. Illness lasts 1-12 weeks and is often dismissed as a bad cold or mononucleosis. However, if the person infected is a pregnant woman, the Toxoplasma organism may cross the placenta. The amount of damage done depends on the stage of pregnancy at the time of infection. Infection in early pregnancy may result in miscarriage or stillbirth. Infection in early pregnancy may result in a child with varying degrees of blindness (due to inflamed retina) and/or various severe neurological conditions including hydrocephalus, microcephaly, and retardation. Sometimes problems are not evident at birth and show up late in life. Fortunately, only 30-40% of infections in pregnant women result in damage to the fetus.

Myths about toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is spread by a tiny parasite called Toxoplasma that can be found almost everywhere. It can infect many animals; for example, it can be in the meat we eat, the birds and mice cats eat, and it can infect cats themselves. It can also infect humans. We get the parasite by mouth from eating undercooked meat, from touching our mouth or eyes with our hands if they are contaminated from handling raw meat, from changing litter from a cat that has been recently infected, or from handling vegetables from a garden where soil has been contaminated by a newly infected cat (cats often choose gardens as their litter boxes).

Extractions: a Simple Facts Sheet from the AIDS Treatment Data Network Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite called toxoplasma gondii. A parasite is any organism that depends on another organism to survive. Many illnesses are caused by parasites. Up to 40% of people in the US have been exposed to the toxoplasma parasite. Common sources of infection are undercooked meat (particularly pork, lamb and venison), cats, birds and other animals. The parasite can also be found in soil contaminated by animal feces. Toxoplasmosis most often affects the brain. Less commonly, toxoplasmosis can affect the eyes, lungs and other parts of the body. A healthy immune system controls the parasite and prevents illness. A damaged immune system is less able to prevent illness. People with less than 100 T4 cells are at the greatest risk for toxoplasmosis. A test can tell if you have been infected with the toxoplasma parasite. The test looks for antibodies that your immune system makes to stop the parasite from causing illness. Both people who have been exposed and people who haven't can avoid the toxoplasma parasite by: making sure that any meat is cooked until it is no longer pink inside; wearing gloves while gardening or working with soil or sand; and wearing gloves and a mask when changing cat litter. You can also ask an HIV-negative friend or family member to change the litter. The litter should be changed daily. There is no need to give up a pet cat, but you should avoid adopting or handling stray cats. Pet cats should be fed canned or dried commercial cat foods or well cooked table food, not raw or undercooked meats. Hands and any surfaces that come into contact with raw meat or vegetables should be washed.

La toxoplasmosis es una infección parásita ampliamente extendida que, al ser contraída por una mujer embarazada, puede poner en peligro la salud de su futuro bebé. La causa de la toxoplasmosis es un parásito llamado Toxoplasma gondii . La toxoplasmosis es una de las infecciones más comunes del mundo. La mayoría de los casos pasan desapercibidos. Los síntomas, cuando ocurren, tienden a asemejarse a los de la gripe. La manera más común de contraer esta infección parásita es mediante la exposición a excrementos de gato o al comer carnes crudas o poco cocidas contaminadas con el parásito. Sin embargo, el riesgo y la gravedad de la infección del bebé dependen en parte del momento en que la madre contrae la infección, por ejemplo si la madre es infectada en el primer, segundo o tercer trimestre del embarazo. Para ayudar a prevenir la toxoplasmosis es importante evitar las fuentes conocidas de infección. He aquí algunas medidas de seguridad que pueden ayudar: No se ocupe de vaciar la litera del gato. Haga que otra persona se encargue de esta tarea.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> What is toxoplasmosis? Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii How does a person acquire toxoplasmosis? The disease can be acquired by ingesting the Toxoplasma gondii organism in raw or undercooked infected meat or in raw milk. The organism is also shed in the feces of infected cats, and humans can become infected by the ingestion of food, water, or dust contaminated with cat feces. When the Toxoplasma gondii organism is shed in cat feces, it takes 1 to 5 days to become infective and then may remain infective for months to years. Transplacental infection (from pregnant mother to fetus) can also occur, and can have serious consequences for the pregnancy. What are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis? The infection usually causes no illness at all when acquired after birth. In that minority of individuals who do become ill, the most common signs are fever and swollen lymph nodes. Much less frequently seen manifestations are skin rash, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, pneumonia, and central nervous system problems. The illness tends to be more severe in persons with a deficient immune system. When a pregnant woman passes the infection to her fetus, serious abnormalities or death of the fetus may result.

Extractions: Bog standard parasite The parasite responsible for toxoplasmosis lurks innocently in the soil of your back garden yet, if caught, it can lead to blindness and even congenital damage. Sue Heap , support and information manager for The Toxoplasmosis Trust, looks at how the infection can be managed OBJECTIVES Toxoplasmosis is a common infection caused by the coccidian protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Around 30 per cent of the UK population have had the infection by the age of 30. After initial acute infection the normal immune system keeps the toxoplasma parasite inactive, and it remains dormant in muscle and brain tissue. Once a person has had toxoplasmosis they are generally thought to be protected for life unless they suffer an impairment to their immune system. It is an opportunistic infection and may present a significant health risk to the foetus, people with HIV/AIDS and transplant patients. In the immunocompetent it may cause debilitating and long-lasting symptoms similar to glandular fever or ME.
