Question: Sir/Madam, my age is 28. I am pregnant of 20 weeks. I regularly visit the doctor every month.During the 8th week I was detected Igm toxoplasma and igg positive for which I am taking Rovomycin forte for 20 days after a gap of 15 days. My ultrasound on 15th week and 20 week were normal. Do I have still any fear of abnormal baby ???? I have given my blood for triple marker test and waiting for the report. I am much worried please help me.
Brief Answer:
Level II ultrasound scan is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached report. The ultrasound scan report is normal but you need to have a level II scan to confirm the absence of any congenital anomaly.
If the triple marker test and the level II scan comes normal then you can continue with the pregnancy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Madam, I got the triple marker test report today I am attaching it. Is there any danger to my baby ???? Now its already 20 weeks. What should be done now ????
Brief Answer:
Birth defects can be there.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I've checked the report...
The risk of trisomy 21 is 1 in 809. This is not a very high risk. But you need to have a level II scan to rule out any malformations.
Toxoplasmosis infection can cause newborns to have eye infections, an enlarged liver and spleen, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and pneumonia. There's a high risk of mortality (can be within a few days of birth). Those who survive can have intellectual disabilities, severely impaired eyesight, cerebral palsy, seizures and other problems.
It is best to consider termination of pregnancy after discussing with your gynaecologist.
Regards.
