Abstract

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by TOXOPLASMA gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite. It's primary host are cats and in man infection occurs mainly by ingestion of raw or underdone meat and vegetables. The most significant infections in humans are congenital and during first semester of pregnancy cause abortion. Immunologic methods are the most common way to establish the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of IgG and IgM anti-TOXOPLASMA antibodies in WOMEN at the age of MARRIAGE in Urmia city.Material and Methods: Serum of 300 WOMEN at the age of MARRIAGE at No.9 health centre were studied and anti-TOXOPLASMA IgG and IgM antibodies were determined by ELISA and IFA techniques. Results: Anti-TOXOPLASMA IgG antibodies were found positive in 98 (32.8%) and 11 samples (3.7%) equivocal results. Anti-TOXOPLASMA IgM found positive in 12 (4%), and negative in 286 (96%), no equivocal result was obtained for IgM. The speciemens were examined by IFA techniques, the IgG titre in 65 samples was 1/400, 13 samples 1/800, 12 samples 1/600, 4 samples 1/3200 and 4 samples showed negative results. Discussion: The positive results were indicated that toxoplasmosis still can cause problem specially in pregnant WOMEN. There were not statistical significant difference between those from rural and urban areas. As a result the control of disease in both areas is recommended.
