Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among aborted women and level of IgE and IFN- γ in chronically infected of them

الملخص EN

Current work was carried out to study seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among sixty five aborted women by using VIDAS technique and the correlations between toxoplasmosis in those women and some factors like age and locality.

In addition the goal of recent research was to measure the level of IgE and IFN- γ cytokine in sera of chronically infected women by using ELISA in comparison with control group.

The results indicated that the highest prevalence (52.3 %) with toxoplasmosis were in the age group (21-30) and those who lived in city center (56.9 %).

A statistical analysis showed a high difference (p < 0.01) in mean level of IgE between patients (377.7)Iu / ml and control group (70.88) Iu / ml.

The mean level of IFN- γ was also showed high statistical differences (p < 0.001) between patients (6.5023) pg / ml and control group (0.9072) pg / ml.
