Abstract EN
This study was conducted between August 2007 and October 2008 to identify the sero-prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii among pregnant women of different ages and stages of gestation.
Latex agglutination test was used as screening test.
ELISA-IgG & IgM tests measured for the Toxo-Latex positive cases to identify toxoplasmosis clinical status.
The results indicated that the prevalence of T.
gondii among pregnant women was relatively high in the rural (57.6%) than urban (46.5%) areas.
The positively was correlated, in general, with age as it was higher in the older age groups.
No specific clinical pictures were noticed in different patients with variable proportions, as well as a less marked con-ela¬tion between Toxo-latex positive cases and having toxoplasmic congenital ba¬bies.
But, neither correlation was detected between the history of congenital toxoplasmosis, or contact with cats and the Toxo-latex out-come results.
An acute newly infected pregnant women during their first trimester of pregnancy that represents the rate of incidence of T.
gondii in which ELISA-IgM positive and ELISA-IgG negative, was 23 cases (27.05%) and v.v.
was 20 (23.54).
The interpretation of IgM and IgG was given.
