Abstract

Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite, which causes toxoplasmosis in humans and many warm-blooded vertebrates. Objective: The present study aimed to determine the Prevalence of T. gondii in patients with type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and control individuals in the southwest of Iran. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 80 patients with T2DM and 100 healthy individuals referred to Taleghani hospital in Abadan city during the winter season. Anti-T. gondii IgG antibody was measured in sera of participants using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A questionnaire containing some demographic information and risk factors related to T. gondii infection was completed by each participant. Results were analyzed using SPSS software 20. P<0. 05 were considered as statistically significant. Results: About 72. 5% of patients with T2DM and 29% of healthy subjects were found to be positive for IgG antibody. The difference was statistically significant (P<0. 001). Among the risk factors, contact with cats in both cases (P<0. 001) and control groups (P=0. 045) and source of drinking water in the control group (P=0. 048) were significantly associated with T. gondii infection. No significant association was observed between age, gender, place of residence, educational level and consuming raw or undercooked meat with T. gondii (P>0. 05). Discussion and Conclusion: Considering the high Prevalence of T. gondii in patients with T2DM compared to healthy individuals, more attention should be paid to this high-risk group. It is suggested that these patients routinely be tested for this parasite.
