Abstract EN
The present study was conducted on sixty five pregnant women that infected with acute toxoplasmosis, serum samples were tested for detection specific anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgM using the rapid Toxo IgG/IgM Chromatographic immune assay test cassette and ELISA, and fifty healthy married women (not pregnant) as was considered as control group.
The level of serum IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, TNF-α, TGF-β1, IP-10, MIP-1, MIG and ICAM were significantly increased (P <0.005) in pregnant patients infected with acute toxoplasmosis, while serum level of MCP-1(14.46 ± 1.38pg/ml) was not significantly increased when compared to controls(11.25 ± 0.24pg/ml) , these levels can be used as indicator to acute toxoplasmosis.
Trace elements concentrations in serum were measured during infection also, the results of this study revealed that serum Zn was markedly elevated (p<0.05) and serum Cu was significantly decreased (P<0.001) in Toxoplasmosis-seropositive women as compared with control.
