10 Toxoplasmosis Symptoms

Symptom #4: Swollen Lymph Nodes
Swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck, is another common toxoplasmosis symptom. This may occur together with other symptoms such as fever, headaches, and general body pain.
Similar to other parts of the body, when the Toxoplasma gondii protozoa invade the body, they can cause inflammation in the lymph nodes. It is worth to note that the lymph system is part of the immune system and is therefore involved in trying to rid the body of the invading parasites. This leads to the swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck and elsewhere in the body. In some cases, the swollen lymph nodes may be painful, while in others they are painless.
