Post# of 148109
Toxoplasmosis:
Pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine are commonly used to treat toxoplasmosis in infants.
"You should not use this medication if you are allergic to sulfa drugs, or if you have liver or kidney disease (if using the medication long-term), a blood cell disorder (such as anemia), if you are in late pregnancy, or if you are breast-feeding a baby."
"Drink plenty of water to keep your kidneys working and prevent kidney stones while taking this medication."

*Syphilis:
Penicillin is an antibiotic that can treat syphilis.
Penicillin is generally considered safe to take during pregnancy. Penicillins are often used to treat infections during pregnancy, and are the preferred antibiotic for preventing complications during delivery. Some specific penicillins that are considered safe to take during pregnancy include amoxicillin, ampicillin, and penicillin V
( of course we know, penicillin dosen't bind to FcRn, like LL-PLS)
* Chickenpox (varicella) can have serious complications, but they are not common in healthy people. Some serious complications include:
( the listed SAE's is too long to list)
*Mumps
Mumps is a contagious viral infection that usually goes away on its own within a couple of weeks. There is no evidence that pregnant women are at an increased risk of developing more severe complications than the general population.
*Parvovirus:
Most adults have already been infected with parvovirus B19 and are immune, so they and their babies are usually protected.
* HIV:
( We know the LL story on that)
*Rubella:
There is no specific antiviral therapy for rubella, but supportive treatment may be provided.
*Cytomegalovirus:
Ganciclovir

Just the ones listed as TORCH
Cytodyn should consider dedicating a section to LL-PLS.
