Abstract

Background and objective: Toxoplasmosis is a widely distributed opportunistic infection caused by a protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. The Parasite is a known pathogen in AIDS and immuno-compromised patients. The aim of this article was to determine toxoplasmic infection rate in kidney transplantation recipients and donors.Materials and methods: Serum specimens from 31 kidney recipients and 31 donors were collected and tested for detection of specific anti Toxoplasma antibodies by Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) method.Results: 19 cases (61.3%) of 31 donors' samples and 17 cases (54.84%) from totally 31 recipients' samples were positive for IgG anti-Toxoplasma antibody.Conclusion: According to the relatively high prevalence of positive cases in either recipients or donors, clinical awareness of the potential risks of reactivation of latent infection or occurring of primary infection due to regular administration of suppressive drugs is necessary and Toxoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of complications in renal transplant recipients.
