What Is Toxoplasmosis?
4. Symptoms In Babies
Toxoplasmosis can be passed on from an infected mother to her unborn child. This remains the case if the patient is showing no symptoms of the disease. If the mother is infected early on in the pregnancy, there is a good chance of a miscarriage or a stillbirth. Those who do survive are likely to have complications.
The complications of congenital toxoplasmosis include an enlarged spleen and liver. Jaundice is another potential symptom, which causes yellow skin, and is a clear sign that the liver is not functioning properly. The patient is also more prone to developing eye infections which will sometimes be severe.
