Abstract
A comparative study was carried out about toxoplasmosis in Neinava governorate and it was revealed the effect of toxoplasmosis on some blood components represented by haemoglobin level and the number of leucocytes and blood platelets. Heamoglobin level decreased in women with acute and chronic toxoplasmosis (1 0.2 g/1 00 mg± 1.4 and 10.5 g/1 00 ml+ 1.9) respectively, while the level remain normal in women with old infection(l3.1g /100 ±0.8) compared with uninfected woman. A slight decrease in leucocytes count in chronic infection( 9.6 X 10 L± 3.11 and 9.2 X 10. cell/L 2.7) was observed respectively, while in woman with old infection no noticeable change occurred in leucocytes count(8.9 X10 cell/L ± 5.4) compared with uninfected women. As concern plateletscount neither increase nor decrease was observed( 260X 10 ceel/±5.4) in case of acute toxoplasmosis and (258X 10 pl/L ±4.1) in case with chronic toxoplasmosis while in old infection(264 X 10 pl/3 .26) compared withuninfected. Estimation of immunoglobulin level was carried out for IgG, IgM, IgA in serum of infected females(acute, chronic and old ) compared with uninfected. It was revealed from the results that IgA level (390.2 mg/1 00 ml±43.3) and less than that in old infections(300.2 mg/100 ml± 41.2) while IgM increased in case of acute infection(30 1.13 mg/1 00 ml± 36.1) and less in old infections(227 mg/ 100 ml±18.5) while IgG has increased to reach 1925.3 mg/ 100 ml±l9.2) in case of chronic infections and less than that in acute infections(l731. 7 mg/1 00 ml± 16. 7) compared with uninfected.It is revealed also that the number of positive cases of hyper autoimmunoglobulins was ( 4) cases out of (30) cases ( 13.3%)in case of aborted females infected with acute toxoplasmosis whom did not responds to treatment while no positive case was detected in chronic toxoplasmosis . From the results of statistical analysis using chi-square no significant difference or correlation between infection and hyperautoimmunoglobulins was detected while after using Z-test for comparing percentages a significant relationship between the type of infection with toxoplasmosis (both acute and chronic) with hyperautoimmunoglobulins in aborted women whom they did not respond to treatment properly, was found.
