What Is Toxoplasmosis?
5. Weak Immune System Symptoms
While our immune systems are usually strong enough to fight against toxoplasma gondii, this is not always the case. Patients with a weakened immune system are more prone to infections from the parasite. In addition, parasites from a previous infection also become reactivated if the immune system is no longer able to suppress them.
Toxoplasmosis in a weakened immune system is going to result in somewhat more severe symptoms. In addition to a headache, the patient is also likely to become confused more easily than they otherwise would. The patient is also likely to lose coordination, and seizures are another potential symptom. Blurred vision may also occur, as well as lung problems.
