Objective: To understand how congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) diagnosis has evolved over the years, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the kind of analysis that has been employed for CT diagnosis.
Methods: PubMed and Lilacs databases were used in order to access the kind of analysis that has been employed for CT diagnosis in several samples. Our search combined the following combining terms: "congenital toxoplasmosis" or "gestational toxoplasmosis" and "diagnosis" and "blood," "serum," "amniotic fluid," "placenta," or "colostrum.

Article Synopsis
- Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a parasite that can cause serious health issues, especially in pregnant women, leading to severe congenital infections that affect infants' eyes and brain development.* -
- This study examines the roles of pregnancy and a specific cytokine called Macrophage Migration Inhibition Factor (MIF) in the intestinal environment during T. gondii infection in mice, highlighting how MIF deficiency and pregnancy affect infection severity and intestinal structure.* -
- Findings revealed that the absence of MIF and pregnancy both increased T. gondii infection rates, altered intestinal villi sizes, and changed goblet cell numbers in the small intestine, with cytokine levels showing a significant immune response to the
