Non-aborted women toxoplasmosis : immunological status in Duhok governorate

Abstract EN

Toxoplasmosis antibodies were demonstrated in 200 serum of women that are randomly chosen as a non-aborted women in a cross sectional study.

Anti-Toxoplasma IgM antibodies were seen in 65 (32.5% ), but IgG antibodies were observed in 9 cases (4.5% ) only and for total the ratio is 74 (37% ).

These results were obtained by ELISA double sandwich method.

The average of examined non-aborted women age was reach 28.

9 years where mostly in ≤25 to ≤40 years (85.5% ).

Most cases of Toxoplasmosis here were seen at 9th, 11th and 12th months (62% ).

Urban area contributed with 51.5% of cases in comparison with rural area (48.5% ).

Spearman's rho correlation test as a statistical test was used to explain the results in current research.

This method helps to explaining why Toxoplasmosis infection could be found in any age, or understanding how Toxoplasmosis is related to any level of IgM or IgG.

Also it indicate that Toxoplasmosis disease is not specific to any living or resident area.

Lately the study revealed that Toxoplasmosis may be seen at any of months of the year but in more frequent months of both late of autumn and the beginning of Toxoplasmosis antibodies were demonstrated in 200 serum of women that are randomly chosen as a non-aborted women in a cross sectional study.
