    A neonate was admitted to the hospital with suspected toxoplasmosis. To guide diagnosis, the mother's antenatal history would reveal if she consumed undercooked meat or had contact with cat litter, as toxoplasmosis is a congenital infection transmitted during pregnancy. Diagnosis can be confirmed through tests of the infant's blood or cerebrospinal fluid. Preventive measures include thoroughly cooking meat and washing hands after handling cats to avoid transmission. The practical exam will involve identifying stages of parasites like Trypanosomes, malaria, Trichomonas, and Toxoplasma under a microscope.
