I know toxoplasmosis is dangerous for fetus/pregnancy. but what happens to an infant if they are infected with toxoplasmosis?

Can be severe: Most adults that develop toxoplasmosis get a flu like syndrome but rarely develop severe toxoplasmosis. Infants, children and people with compromised immune system may develop severe toxoplasmosis which can cause encephalitis, a severe infection in the brain.
