Toxoplasmosis

How is it diagnosed?

If a woman feels she has been at risk through something she ate, or if she has symptoms that could indicate toxoplasma infection, she can request a blood test. All positive tests should be sent to the toxoplasma reference laboratory for confirmation and an estimate of infection onset.
