What Is Toxoplasmosis?
3. Standard Symptoms
As mentioned, toxoplasmosis will not usually cause any symptoms. The immune system is usually strong enough to deal with the parasite before it can cause us any harm. When the parasite does cause infections, however, they will often be mistaken for the flu. The standard symptoms of toxoplasmosis will typically include a headache.
The patient is also likely to have a fever, and they may also have aches and pains in their joints and muscles. The patient is also likely to feel fatigued, while swollen lymph nodes are another potential symptom. While these symptoms will often be mistake for the flu, the patient should see a doctor if they get particularly uncomfortable.
