Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women

summary

Can I have a dog after pregnancy? Every mother wants to give her children the best environment to grow up, which is human nature, but because of pregnancy, family members or relatives blindly advise expectant mothers to stay away from pets, or even alarmist, causing unnecessary panic, leading to abandoning their dogs or not touching them. Dogs have nothing but their owners. They only have their owners in their eyes. Looking at them pitifully, I would like to talk about the symptoms of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women.

Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women

Most of the people infected with Toxoplasma gondii are asymptomatic carriers, only a few of them are infected. The mild cases are recessive infection, and the severe cases are severe symptoms of multiple organ damage. If you have symptoms of toxoplasmosis, it's usually swollen lymph nodes, but it doesn't hurt. Other mild symptoms may include muscle pain, fatigue, headache and fever, as well as sore throat or rash.

Pregnant women infected with Toxoplasma gondii, in addition to abortion, premature delivery, perinatal death, the incidence of pregnancy poisoning, postpartum hemorrhage, premature rupture of membranes, postpartum incomplete uterine reduction and endometritis were increased. Toxoplasma gondii can enter the fetal gastrointestinal tract through the placental barrier or amniotic fluid and infect the fetus, causing congenital toxoplasmosis in the fetus, causing various deformities or defects.

Pregnant women infected with Toxoplasma gondii, if not treated, about 60% of the fetus may be infected. The infection rate of the fetus often increases with the increase of gestational age, but the damage to the fetus is the most serious in the first three months. The earlier the fetus is infected, the greater the risk of abortion. Fetal multiple malformations are complex, including hydrocephalus, anencephaly, microphthalmos, and anophthalmos. Although there is no abnormality on the surface of some sick children at birth, they can still suffer from mental retardation or blindness due to retinitis after several years due to brain tissue damage.

matters needing attention

First, pay attention to food hygiene, meat should be fully cooked, avoid raw meat pollution cooked food. Second, cats should be kept at home and fed cooked food or finished cat food. They should not be allowed to hunt outside. Because cat infection is eating infected mice or birds, or eating food contaminated with cat manure. Third, we should pay attention to daily hygiene, remove the faeces of cats every day, and wash hands carefully after contacting the animal excrement.
