What is toxoplasmosis?
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the common parasite Toxoplasma gondii that can be caught by ingesting contaminated food or water, especially by eating raw or undercooked meat or by handling contaminated cat litter.
What are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis?
Many people are unaware when they become infected as toxoplasmosis doesn't usually cause symptoms. However, a pregnant woman who becomes infected can pass on the infection to her unborn child. If someone with a weakened immune system becomes infected, the parasite can cause severe health complications.
What is a Toxoplasma Antibodies Blood Test?
Our Toxoplasma Antibodies Blood Test detects antibodies in your blood that the body produces in response to a Toxoplasma gondii infection. With this test, you can identify a current or past infection.
