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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide clearer guidance for women with congenital toxoplasmosis about the safety of pregnancy for themselves and their children.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment.
