That\u2019s why this protozoan infection is often associated with pregnant women changing cat litter boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The protozoa can cross the placenta of pregnant women and have detrimental effects on the growing fetus.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat.jpeg\" alt=\"Toxoplasmosis\" class=\"wp-image-23638\" title=\"TORCH Infections\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat-300x151.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat-768x387.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat-370x186.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat-270x136.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat-570x287.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pregnant-woman-with-cat-740x373.jpeg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While mothers who contract the disease are usually asymptomatic, infants can present with many symptoms that are common among the TORCH infections.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, let\u2019s go over some of those symptoms. There are baby intrauterine growth retardations, which means poor growth of a fetus while in the mother\u2019s womb during pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another one is hepatosplenomegaly, meaning the enlargement of the liver and spleen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a

infections.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, of course, when getting the mother\u2019s health history, definitely be sure to consider if the mother has a cat or would be cleaning cat litter at any time!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And to really solidify this information in your brain, be sure to check out our Picmonic on TORCH
