How is Toxoplasma infection caused?
summary
Every family hopes to have a smart, healthy and lovely baby. Toxoplasma is the enemy of pregnant women and fetus. Toxoplasma gondii is one of the pathogens of intrauterine infection. About 90000 newborns damaged by Toxoplasma gondii are born every year. Toxoplasma gondii infects the fetus through the placenta, which seriously affects the growth and development of the fetus. It can be seen that Toxoplasma gondii is the "killer" of eugenics. Let's share my experience with you.
How is Toxoplasma infection caused?
Some of people's favorite pets, such as cats and dogs, are important sources of toxoplasmosis. It is suggested that pregnant women should not keep these pets or contact their excrement. After processing raw meat such as pigs, sheep and cattle, wash your hands thoroughly, and cook all kinds of meat, eggs and milk. Do not blindly pursue the taste, and prevent the intake of food containing live capsule of Toxoplasma gondii. Wash hands before meals, and wash vegetables, melons and fruits thoroughly before eating. Women of childbearing age to do etiological testing or serological examination, infected patients need to be treated for half a year before pregnancy.
Toxoplasmosis in pregnant women can threaten the fetus, which can cause abortion, premature delivery, stillbirth and fetal infection. The older the pregnant woman is, the easier it is to infect the fetus. If infected in early pregnancy, because Toxoplasma gondii is difficult to pass through the placenta, only 15% of newborns will have congenital infection, but because of the poor resistance of the fetus at this time, it is basically fatal, mostly manifested as abortion or embryo stop development. Infection in the second trimester of pregnancy, about 25% of the newborn will be infected, mostly for late pregnancy abortion or intrauterine fetal death, the survival of the fetus with congenital birth defects.
In addition to cats and dogs, poultry and contaminated fruits, vegetables may also carry Toxoplasma gondii. Expectant mothers should also be more cautious in their diet: ● only eat ten mature meats, especially pork, beef and mutton. When roasting, the inside and outside of the meat should be brown without a trace of pink. When cooking meat, the internal temperature should reach at least 54 ℃. Wash your hands before eating after processing raw meat.
