What’s toxoplasmosis?
• Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused
by Toxoplasma gondii.
History
• The first recorded case of congenital
Toxoplasmosis was in 1923
• Toxoplasma Gondii was first identified as
human pathogen in 1939.
Types
• Type I : virulent in mice and human
• Type II : virulent in human
• Type III : mostly virulent in animals
Transmission
1. Ingestion of undercooked foods.
2. Contaminated foods
3. Ingestion of unpasteurized milk products.
4. Ingestion of oocyst.
5. Organ transplantation
6. Blood transfusion.
Stages of infection
1. Acute toxoplasmosis.
2. Latent toxoplasmosis.
3. Cutaneous toxoplasmosis.
Categorization
1-acquired in immunocompetent
patients
• Generally asymptomatic.
2- acquired or reactivated in the
immunodeficient patients
• Immunodeficient patients often having CNS
disease but may have myocarditis or
pneumonitis
3-Congenital
• Acquired by the mother during pregnancy,
severity varing with trimester
4-Ocular
• Causing Chorioretinitis (bilaterally)
• Lesions develop in the eye due to cyst rupture.
Life cycle of parasite
epidemiology
• Occur through out the world
• Survey of 99 studies in 44
countries shows highest
prevalence are within lower
altitude countries
In Iraq-babylon province
Diagnosis
• Polymer chain reaction
• Serological test:
A:sabin field man test
B:indirect fluoresence antibody essay
C:enzyme linke immunosorbent essay ELISA
D:latex agglutination test
E:hemagglutination essay
DIAGNOSIS
DIRECT EXAMINATION:
o MICROSCOPY
o Antigen detection
o Polymer chain reaction
Serological tests:
• Enzyme linke immunosorbital essay (ELISA)
• Indirect fluorescent antibody
• Methylene blue dye test(DT)
• Sabin fild man test
• Commertiale kits for agglutination test
• Enzyme immunoessay
prevention
1. Avoid eating raw meat
2. Wash all vegetable
3.wash hands
4.use gloves when gardening
5.Do not empty or clean cat boxes
without gloves
Treatment
• Acute phase :
• Pyrimethamine
• sulfadiazine + pyrimethamine
• spiromysisn
• Atovapuone
• clindamysin+atovaquone
Latent phase:

Toxoplasmosis

Notas del editor

  1. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii.[3] Infections with toxoplasmosis usually cause no obvious symptoms in adults.[2] Occasionally, people may have a few weeks or months of mild, flu-like illness . In those with a weak immune system, severe symptoms such as seizures and poor coordination may occur.[1] If infected during pregnancy, a condition known as congenital toxoplasmosis may affect the child.
  2. The lifecycle of T. gondii may be broadly summarized into two components: a sexual component that occurs only within cats (felids, wild or domestic), and an asexual component that can occur within virtually all warm-blooded animals, including humans, cats, and birds.[26]:2Because T. gondii can sexually reproduce only within cats, cats are therefore the definitive host of T. gondii. All other hosts – in which only asexual reproduction can occur – are intermediate hosts. When members of cats family consumed an infected mouth with parasites tissue cysts, the parasites survive trough cats stomach and eventually infecting epethelial cells of the cats small intestine inside intestinal cells, the parasite undergoes sexual development and reproduction, producing mellions of oocytes Infected epethelial cells eventually rupture and release oocyte into intestinal lumen,then unsporulated oocyte shed the cats feces,oocyte needs 1 to 5 days to be sporulated, then contaminate soil,food and water. Fecal oocyst ingested by human or warm blooded animal, rats and mamals,
  3. First 3 are most important
  4. Treatment is often only recommended for people with serious health problems, such as people with HIV whose CD4 counts are under 200 cells/mm3, because the disease is most serious when one's immune system is weak. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is the drug of choice to prevent toxoplasmosis, but not for treating active disease. A 2012 study shows a promising new way to treat the active and latent form of this disease using two endochin-like quinolones.[69]
  5. In people with latent toxoplasmosis, the cysts are immune to these treatments, as the antibiotics do not reach the bradyzoites in sufficient concentration. The medications prescribed for latent toxoplasmosis are: Atovaquone — an antibiotic that has been used to kill Toxoplasma cysts inside AIDS patients[72] Clindamycin — an antibiotic that, in combination with atovaquone, seemed to optimally kill cysts in mice[73]
