Title: Toxoplasmosis in immunocompetent children

🔬 Presentation Highlights
·Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, found worldwide.
·An estimated 25–35% of the global population is infected with T. gondii.
·Infection outcomes vary based on the host’s immune status.
·In immunocompetent individuals, infection is often asymptomatic or mild and self-limiting.
·T. gondii can evade immune responses and form latent tissue cysts, especially in the brain, eye, heart, and muscles.
·Latent infection may reactivate if the host becomes immunocompromised.
·Recent evidence shows clinically significant disease can also occur in immunocompetent children.
·This presentation reviews toxoplasmosis-related diseases in immunocompetent children reported over the past decade.
