See below: Toxoplasma infection is difficult to eliminate, especially in pregnant women. The treatment for it - antibacterial medications. Dexamethason is given to pregnant women who are facing preterm labor or in need to terminate the pregnancy for maternal reasons to help baby's lung to mature faster. Your baby might have a congenital toxoplasma infection & have complications from it, not necessarily die.
