Objective.
The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara spp.
infections in patients with schizophrenia disorder.
Method.
A total of 100 patients with schizophrenia disorder and 95 healthy individuals participated in the study.
Participants were tested for the presence of anti-T.
gondii and anti-Toxocara spp.
antibodies by ELISA and Western blotting.
Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and Fisher9s exact test.
Results.
There were no differences in T.
gondii IgG seroprevalence between patients with schizophrenia and healthy individuals ( P = 0.1 ), but there were differences in seroprevalence between males and females with schizophrenia ( P = 0.009 ).
In contrast, Toxocara spp.
IgG seroprevalence was greater in patients with schizophrenia disorder than in healthy individuals ( P = 0.02 ), but there were no differences in seroprevalence between men and women with schizophrenia ( P = 0.5 ).
Finally, there were no differences in seroprevalence of T.
gondii or Toxocara spp.
IgG among different subtypes of schizophrenia, various age groups, residential area, or clinical course of treatment ( P > 0.05 ).
Conclusion.
The present study suggests that patients with schizophrenia disorder are at elevated risk of Toxocara spp.
infection.
Moreover, contamination with T.
gondii is a risk factor for schizophrenia in women.
