Can COVID reactivate toxoplasmosis?
JAN 25, 2021
Question:
Does congenital toxoplasmosis reactivate later in life only from viral infections, bacterial infection, or immunosuppressive disease? Or does having COVID increase that likelihood?
Answer:
While the reactivation of toxoplasmosis can occur as a result of immunocompromised conditions or treatments that reduce your ability to fight infection, we also see toxoplasmosis flare-ups with no clear trigger. To date, there is no evidence that COVID increases the likelihood of this.
