ABSTRACT
Six hundred and forty blood samples were obtained from Rawalpindi-Islamabad to determine the frequency of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using indirect immunofluorescent antibody [IFA] test. Two hundred and forty samples were from suspected cases of Toxoplasmosis. Forty [17%] cases were positive for IgG antibody. Seven [3%] of these cases showed antibody titre greater than 1320. Of 65 children tested, 8 [12.30%] were positive. Four [6%] children had a rising titre from 1160 to 11025. Prevalence of Toxoplasma antibodies was correlated to mode of living, maternal obstetric history, their animal contact and age of the children
