Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection in humans and animals. Infection in healthy immunocompetent adults is asymptomatic in about 50% of the cases. However, it can also cause a self-limited mild, nonspecific illness presenting with signs and symptoms such as fever, malaise, maculopapular rash, headache, fatigue, and tender lymphadenopathy. In immunocompromised individuals and neonates, it causes a severe infection with devastating sequelae. This activity reviews the identification, evaluation, and management of congenital toxoplasmosis and explains the role of the interprofessional team in managing and improving care for patients with this condition.
