FDA clears first test for recent infection with toxoplasmosis parasite

// “Women who become infected just before or during pregnancy may pass the parasite on to their unborn child, resulting in miscarriage, stillbirth, or an abnormally small or large head. Infection can also lead to vision loss, mental disability, seizures or other health problems later in life for the child.

Cats are most often associated with the parasite, but many other species of animals and birds also serve as hosts. The parasite also is found in people worldwide. Common symptoms of toxoplasmosis include swollen lymph nodes and flu-like symptoms.”
