TOXOPLASMOSIS Toxoplasmosis is a very common parasite for man and
animals, it is estimated that one third of the world’s adult population contract toxoplasmosis.
The definitive host is the CAT. HOW MAN BECOME INFECTED ? 1- Acquired Toxoplasmosis : either by eating food
contaminated with cat fecal matter, so man will ingest OOCYSTS , OR by ingestion of under cooked meat (pork, sheep, beef or politary).
2-Conginital Toxoplasmosis: The earlier in pregnancy the mother is infected, the lower is the risk of an infection of the fetus, but the severer is the disease. The later in pregnancy the mother is infected, the higher is the possibility of fetal infection, and the disease is less severe (often subclinical infection)

TOXOPLASMOSIS
Transmission of infection: 1: Congenital ( /1000 pregnancies) 2: Acquired :
Ingestion of oocyst:contaminated fingers,soil,water
Ingestion of cyst in undercooked meat. Blood transfusion ( including WBC platelets)
and organ transplant 3: Reactivation of infection
Immunocompromised e.g. AIDS Immunosuppression e.g. drugs

Toxoplasmosis in Pregnancy Abortion Overt disease. The symptoms vary widely,
the classical triad of Congenital Toxoplasmosis is Hydrocephalus Intracranial calcification Chorioretinitis
Subclinical infection: no symptoms at birth Late onset symptoms (most common in
the eyes: Chorioretinitis) No symptoms at all

Toxoplasmosis
Risk Factors: Presence of cats Poor sanitation , mild humid climate Food habits Pregnancy
Control: Proper handling of pet cats Avoid raw or undercooked meat. Prevent exposure of pregnant women
to infection. Screening of pregnant women for
Toxoplasma antibodies.

Toxoplasmosis in Pregnancy In general :
The earlier in pregnancy the mother is infected, the lower is the risk of an infection of the fetus, but the severer is the disease. The later in pregnancy the mother is infected, the higher is the possibility of fetal infection, and the disease is less severe (often subclinical infection)

Treatment of Toxoplasmosis
Sulfonamides and pyrimethamine (Daraprim) are two drugs widely used to treat toxoplasmosis in humans.
Spiramycin: a drug used in France to treat pregnant women to minimize the effects of congenital toxoplasmosis

LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS
Diagnosis: detection of microfilariae in blood in early stages of the disease:
Blood film, Knott’s method ( concentration of 1 ml of
blood), best 10 PM to 2 AM (nocturnal periodicity).
Immunological tests
Treatment: diethylcarbamazine (DEC) or ivermectin
