Toxoplasmosis Treatment
No treatment is indicated in asymptomatic people, except children, to prevent retinal inflammation. Treatment of women in pregnancy is controversial because of the toxicity of the medications, but treatment is still advocated.
Medications to treat the infection include: pyrimethamine, sulfonamide drugs, folinic acid, clindamycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Treatment in AIDS patients is continued indefinitely, because the infection may reactivate if treatment is discontinued.
