10 Toxoplasmosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Jaundice
Jaundice presents as yellowing of the skin and eyes. Most newborns with congenital toxoplasmosis will have no symptoms at all, but for the ones that do, this is one of the most common symptoms to appear.
In most cases, a congenital infection with the toxoplasma parasite does not lead to symptoms in the newborn. But one tenth of infected newborns will have symptoms that include jaundice, fever, rash, anemia, and an enlarged spleen or liver. In the rest of the babies with a congenital toxoplasma infection, if symptoms appear, they do so months or years after birth.
