The treatment of pregnant women is problematic. The treatment is performed at the indication of the doctor with Sulphamids, spiramycin or pyrimethamine depending on the time of diagnosis in relation to the age of pregnancy. Spiramycin is usually used to prevent placenta infection; Pyrimethamine and Sulfadiazine should be considered if the fetal infection is confirmed either by ultrasound or by PCR tests from the amniotic fluid. Pyrimethamine is considered to have teratogenic effect, not given during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy.
