Featured: Toxoplasmosis Main Article
Toxoplasmosis (toxo) is a parasitic infection that causes flulike symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, and muscle aches and pains that may last from a few days to several weeks. Pregnant women who contract toxo have a 40% chance of passing the infection to their babies. Babies born with toxo may be afflicted with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, deafness, and severely impaired vision.
