Question
What are the hazards of Toxoplasmosis infection in newborns? How long does the treatment process typically last?
Answer
Toxoplasmosis is a common parasitic organism found in dogs. If a newborn comes into contact with feces from an infected dog, it may lead to stunted growth and development, and intellectual development may also be affected. Infants with congenital toxoplasmosis often show no obvious symptoms at birth, but some may develop symptoms such as retinal vasculitis, strabismus, blindness, epilepsy, mental motor, or intellectual retardation within a few months or years after birth. The duration of treatment varies depending on the individual case and is determined by the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment plan.
