Immunological study for Toxoplasms gondii parasite in college of ccience for women

Abstract EN

In this study, the collection of blood samples from 100 students in Babylon university college of Science for women for the period from 11/2012 to 10/2013 and separated serum for the purpose of diagnosis of infection with Toxoplasma gondii and immunological testing.

The current study showed that the infection rate reached 46% of the total samples tested were highest infection rate in the age group 19-23 years and have had the lowest rate in the age groups 24-28 and 29-33 years, which amounted to 4.34%, while the proportion was the positive result to C-reactive protein 17% of the total samples were infected with the parasite and the highest concentration of him when quantification 384 mg / dL in the age group 24-28 years with significant differences in all age groups.

The immunological study included positive samples for the latex test to measure the concentrations of each of the serum proteins and immunoglobulin IgM, IgA and IgG, the concentrations of highest 2933.333 ± 490.747, 1421.466 ± 1801.164 568.666 ± 490.679, mg / dL, respectively, for different age groups and no significant difference compared with control, either for the concentrations of serum proteins has been observed the highest concentration of 3054 ± 0.748 mg / dL in the age group 24-28 years, and by the results obtained in the present study, we infer the existence of an immune systematic and local response against infection with toxoplasmosis.
