People at risk

Anyone can catch the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis because it is widespread all over the world.

• The pregnant women can transmit the disease to the fetus, which can lead to serious health problems.

People with weakened immune systems are at greater risk for serious health problems:

• People with SIDA / VIH.
• People who follow a chemotherapy.
• People who take steroids or drugs immunosuppressants.
• People who have received transplantation.

Risk factors

• Be in contact with cat feces by handling soil or litter.
• Live or travel in countries whose sanitary conditions are deficient (water or contaminated meat).
• Very rarely, toxoplasmosis can be transmitted by organ transplant or a blood transfusion.
