How to Diagnose Toxoplasmosis
The doctor will ask about symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Blood tests are done to look for antibodies produced by the body to fight the toxoplasmosis. Other lab tests are done to look for the protozoon itself.
If a pregnant woman is infected, prenatal tests, including ultrasound and amniocentesis, are performed to determine if the fetus is infected.
