Toxoplasmosis and Pregnancy: Current Approaches for Favourable Fetal Outcome

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most widespread parasites worldwide. Although it causes asymptomatic infections in most cases, it can lead to severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. When acquired during pregnancy, it can negatively impact fetal development, resulting in unfavorable outcomes in neonates. The epidemiology of this parasite varies from country to country, leading to a lack of international consensus on screening, diagnosis, and management of congenital toxoplasmosis. This article aims to review aspects related to the modes of transmission, screening, fetal prognosis, management, and prevention of this infection to increase the chances of a favorable fetal outcome.
