Toxoplasma IgM Test Interpretation:
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection that can be passed from mother to baby through the placenta during pregnancy
An infection with Toxoplasma gondii can cause eye and central nervous system infections as well as brain and muscle cysts
If acquired during pregnancy, it may result in a miscarriage or cause birth defects, though this depends on the time during the pregnancy in which the infection was acquired by the mother
Toxoplasmosis is acquired by ingesting the parasite when handling the excrement of infected cats, drinking unpasteurised goat milk, and, most commonly, by eating contaminated meat
