Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can sometimes cause human infection with toxoplasmosis due to lack of hygiene or other factors. However, some people are not very familiar with where Toxoplasma gondii parasitizes in the human body and may have doubts about whether this toxoplasmosis can run in the brain?
Toxoplasma gondii is a disease caused by the parasitic presence of Toxoplasma gondii in the human body. Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease, and the infected Toxoplasma gondii can parasitize the nucleated cells of humans and animals. Most infections in the human body are latent infections, and the clinical symptoms of the disease are complex. Due to the lack of specificity, misdiagnosis is easily caused.
After infection with toxoplasmosis, it will flow with the blood and may reach various parts of the body, with the main affected areas being the eyes, brain, lymph nodes, liver, etc. From this, it can be seen that Toxoplasma gondii parasitizes the human brain and causes brain diseases. Its common complications include encephalitis, myocarditis, pneumonia, as well as gastritis, hepatitis, and so on.
The infection of toxoplasmosis is mainly caused by oral ingestion of feces or unhygienic food, and transmission of infection through contact with pets infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Early treatment is necessary to avoid other complications caused by severe illness. In terms of treatment, antibiotics and sulfonamide drugs are mostly used as the main treatment, and daily diet should pay attention to hygiene. Food should be cooked as much as possible before consumption, which can effectively eliminate the source of Toxoplasma gondii infection.
