Three cases only were seropositive to IgM with 1.17% and their mean 0.54 IU/ml.IL-33 levels in RA patients with toxoplasmosis was highest 187.74± 33.24 pg/ml when compared with RA patients 107.88±18.41 pg/ml and control group 55.59±25.75 pg/ml ,there was a significant differences in comparison between studied groups.
