TOXOPLASMOSIS: is a parasite which can severely damage the fetus:

What we know about Toxoplasmosis??    Point 1:-It is a parasite. 

Point 2:-Of all the cong malformations only 2-3% is due to TORCH related infections which (the commonly used abbreviation T O R C H):- comprise not only Toxo, but CMV, Rubella, & Other viral infections (remember OTHER VIRAL means many dozens Parvovirus in particular). Point 3:- Hence as many as 85% of U S women are susceptible to infection during pregnancy yielding 40-4000 new cases of cong. Toxo each year. Pont 4 : What are the vaccinations we have against viral diseases? Varicella, Rubella, Polio, Hep B, Mumps, Measles, most influenza.

   Point 5:- In France, however, every year the checking rate for seoconversion is 44% and about 6,000 women are treated during pregnancy each year. About 95% of women that country of Sculpture, Wine , Dance ,Perfume , Museum have  women of 70% seroprevalence(Ref: Congenital Intrauterine Infections-Ed by Prof Deepak Déjà, ,Jaypee, pp 90, Ed 2009).

Point 6-What about India? Not readily available but most are not prone to Toxo in preg as most are immune to Toxo .(blessing in disguise-handing Cattle, going to fields barefooted and taking raw possibly unwashed vegetable, poorly cooked meats  to save th fuel!!Those who had infection earlier preg do not reactivate Toxo parasites domiciled in woman... previous hydrocephalus or no hydrocephalus if serum IgG is negative and she hails from a village settings with a significant probality  of having infection contracted in this pregnancy, how do we defend ourselves if she develops some CNS changes for not prescribing Rovamycin! How do U defending such cong abnormality of foetus in the court of Law by depriving the woman of the benefits of pot Rovamycin?. In poor settings it is difficult to follow. 

Lastly. if she would have been your close relative with IgG negative what would have been your policy? Rovamycin is a safe drug. ut I have seen some practitioner prescribing it for recurrent abortion with Toxopasma If G positive cases. Is it useful in such patient?

In this particular case IgG Toxo was negative-signifying that she is prone to have infection. But having admitted that, may I conclude by saying if previous hydrocephalus was due to Toxo infn then it is presumable that IgG of Toxo would have been +Ve. Isn't it ?? Can a man / woman had a parasitic infn(Toxo-in this case) 2 yrs back and by 2 yrs time becoming IgG negative?? How to account for that??

 It shouldn't be prescribed in this patient

 Most of these prescriptions are from GPs

But she is IgG negative. If the couple come to U for consultation who has one handicapped baby with hydrocephalus with current report of Toxo IgG negative-will U advocate Rovamycin or not ?? Your opinion pl?? If U don't prescribe R for prophylactic ally then - isn’t possible to have Toxo in this current Preg??

Toxo & hydrocephalus-Are these correlated at all?? How to prove ?? how to confirm now that the hydrocephalic infant she has was in fact due to Toxo? Suppose she has one live healthy child For some reason or other at booking visit by mistake Lab has done IgG Toxo and w... 

 sir the incidence of Toxo is decreasing with the use of prophylactic measures like avoid contact with cat feces, cook meat to safe temperature, wash fruits and vegetable thoroughly prior to eating, wear gloves while gardening and wash hands after contact with soil and raw meats

DNA AMPLIFICATION by PCR of blood is the best method for its confirmation

routine rovamycin prophylaxis is not recommended to a women with one normal child until the lady is immunocompromised, only the above mentioned prophylactic measures are to be taken

TORCH does not show light neither to preg mother not to foetus in utero!! It is a bad TORCH indeed!!! :- IPL is going on !! Pl read after IPL match is finished tonight before dinner please !! Limitations of Science!! How far we have been able to protect the health of pregnant mother & our future generation?? Globally scientists have been unable  to discover  vaccination for Toxo ,CMV, HSV , Parvovirus-B 19,  , Genital Herpes & HIV and Viral diseases which cause STI, Swine Flu, Syphilis(Bact) Malaria(parasite we are talking of) Chlamydia& Chlamydia like organisms (not a  viral) as all of them have come to India to watch IPL and then Indian Voting system, After May 2019 they will be back at Laboratory!!! :- .
