Clinical and sero-epidemiological studies on human toxoplasmosis

ABSTRACT

A total of 841 outpatients at different age groups attending ophthalmic and obstetrics clinics were clinically examined and the salient symptoms in toxoplasmosis suspects were recorded. Meanwhile, history of contact with house cats was taken. Indirect hemagglutination test using a commercially available kit [TOXO-HAI] was carried out on 841 serum samples, where 477 [56.7%] were proved to have toxoplasma antibodies at varying titers. Age and sex susceptibilities to toxoplasmosis were investigated
