In people with weakened immune systems, especially those with AIDS, symptoms of toxoplasmosis are often brain-related and severe. Also, if toxoplasmosis affects the eyes of a person with a weakened immune system, there may be blurred vision, spots in the field of vision, eye pain and extreme sensitivity to light.
Women infected with toxoplasmosis can transmit the infection across the placenta to their unborn baby. Infection early in the pregnancy is less likely to be transmitted to the baby than infection later in the pregnancy. Early infection results in more severe symptoms in the baby than a later one.
