A member asked:

Will an ocular toxoplasmosis lesion reactivate during pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. SG Erman answered

Possible, but unlike: Toxoplasma infection can reactivate in immunocompromised pregnant women who were infected with toxoplasma before their pregnancy, and this can lead to congenital infection. The key word in immunocomprimised. If your immune sustem is healthy and normal, re-activation (while possible) is unlikely.
