Mark each statement as true or false. Rewrite the false statements to make them true by changing the underlined word(s).


__________ Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted across a placenta.

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Step 1: Understand the statement: 'Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted across a placenta.' This refers to vertical transmission, where an infection passes from a pregnant individual to the fetus through the placenta.
Step 2: Recall that Toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which is known to cross the placental barrier and infect the fetus, potentially causing congenital toxoplasmosis.
Step 3: Determine if the statement is true or false based on this knowledge. Since Toxoplasma gondii can indeed cross the placenta, the statement is true.
Step 4: If the statement were false, you would identify the incorrect term (e.g., 'cannot' instead of 'can') and rewrite it to reflect the correct fact that Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted across the placenta.
Step 5: Conclude that no changes are needed for this statement because it is true as written.

Vertical Transmission of Infectious Agents

Vertical transmission refers to the passage of an infection from a mother to her fetus across the placenta during pregnancy. This mode of transmission can lead to congenital infections, which may cause developmental problems or miscarriage.

Clinical Significance of Congenital Toxoplasmosis

Congenital toxoplasmosis occurs when Toxoplasma gondii crosses the placenta, infecting the fetus. It can result in severe outcomes such as neurological damage, vision problems, or stillbirth, highlighting the importance of preventing maternal infection during pregnancy.
