Pregnancy and toxoplasmosis: new study aims to clarify risks for mothers and babies

NCT ID NCT05774496

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study followed 76 women with congenital toxoplasmosis (a parasitic infection present from birth) to see if pregnancy increases the risk of eye inflammation (retinochoroiditis). Researchers checked eye exams done during pregnancy and after childbirth, comparing them to non-pregnancy periods. The goal is to provide better information to women about their own eye safety and the safety of their children.
