Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite toxoplasma gondii. More than 60 million people in the United States Have the parasite. Most of them don't get sick. But the parasite causes serious problems for some people. These include people with weak immune systems and babies whose mothers become infected for the first time during pregnancy.
CNS toxoplasmosis results from infection by the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It is almost always due to reactivation of old CNS lesions or to hematogenous spread of a previously acquired infection. Occasionally, it results from primary infection.
Overview. Toxoplasmosis (tok-so-plaz-MOE-sis) is a disease that results from infection with the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, one of the world's most common parasites. Infection usually occurs by eating undercooked contaminated meat, exposure from infected cat feces, or mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy.
Lack of expected normal physiological developmentICD-10 code: R62 Lack of expected normal physiological development.
Diagnosis. Proper diagnosis requires a corresponding clinical syndrome in the setting of a CT or MRI that shows ring enhancing lesions. Serologic testing is also often used to clinch the diagnosis. The vast majority of patients with CNS toxoplasmosis are seropositive for anti-toxoplasma IgG antibodies.

In the brain, Toxoplasma gains entry by traversing across endothelial cells. Once inside the brain, the parasite forms tissue cysts within neurons. Immune pressure from a variety of central nervous system resident and peripheral cells prevents cyst reactivation and infection of non-neuronal cells.
People become infected with toxoplasmosis several ways: Eating food, drinking water, or accidentally swallowing soil that has been contaminated with infected cat feces. Eating raw or undercooked meat from animals (especially pigs, lamb, or wild game) that have been infected with Toxoplasma.
Bizarrely, new research raises that question, finding that the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which lives in cats, actually makes cats attractive — rather than scary — to their natural prey (in this case, rats).
Many congenital toxoplasmosis cases can be cured with medications. Even children who had severe infections at birth may never show signs of severe long-term damage if they are diagnosed and treated early. Delays in diagnosis and treatment can contribute to a poor prognosis.
