How is Toxoplasma positive treated

summary

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite. Parasitic in cells, with blood flow, to all parts of the body, damage the brain, heart, fundus, resulting in the decline of human immunity, suffering from various diseases. It is an obligate intracellular parasite, coccidia, eucoccidia, isosporidiaceae and Toxoplasma. Let's take a look at the following.

How is Toxoplasma positive treated

First, the physical examination of expectant mothers during pregnancy includes a test called torch. Torch is a combination of the first letters of the English names of several pathogens. The letter T stands for Toxoplasma gondii. (the other letters stand for syphilis, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus.)

Second, although France and Austria and other countries stipulate that pregnant women should be routinely tested for Toxoplasma antibody, the practice is to carry out serum antibody test in the early pregnancy,

Third: if it is negative (i.e. no infection), tell the pregnant women to pay attention to the prevention of infection, and regularly review; if it is found that the pregnant women have acute infection, then give spiramycin treatment, at the same time, carry out amniocentesis and ultrasound examination on the fetus. If it is proved that the fetus is infected, the pregnant woman will be treated with Sulfanilamide and pyrimidine; if it is found that the fetus has obvious disease, the parents can consider terminating the pregnancy. However, whether this method is worth using remains controversial

matters needing attention

Screening for infection in pregnant women to prevent congenital infection is a serious public health problem. Generally, it must be determined according to epidemiological studies. First of all, the examination must have a clear purpose and treatment principle. The screening method must be accurate and reliable, with a clear purpose and follow-up treatment measures, which is acceptable to the public and indeed has high social benefits. The chance of infection in pregnant women in China is relatively small compared with other regions, so it is necessary to conduct evaluation research in qualified hospitals before formulating relevant policies.
