Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite causing toxoplasmosis in animals and humans. Primary maternal
infection with toxoplasmosis during pregnancy is frequently associated with transplacental transmission to the fetus. However it
is not certain whether Toxoplasma infection can cause recurrent abortion. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship
between Toxoplasma infection and abortion via detection of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in sera of women with obstetrical
problems and compare the results with control group consisting of women with history of normal delivery. Sera from 130 women
with abortion and sera of 130 women with normal delivery were tested for IgG and IgM anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies by
ELISAmethod. The present study revealed 24.6% of the samples with abortion and 21.5% of the samples with normal delivery were
positive for IgG antibodies. However, statistical analysis indicated no significant differences (
