Evaluation of toxoplasmosis as a risk factor in abortion

ABSTRACT

The E.L.I.S.A. test was performed to detect specific antitoxoplasma IgG and IgM among 465 pregnant women in Macca, Saud Arabia. The study included cases who had normal pregnancies and those who had present or past history of abortion. No statistical variation was detected among the two groups. This high prevalence rate of latent infection associated with low risk factor suggested the development of solid immunity against reactivation and subsequent abortion
