Anti-toxoplasma IgG & IgM were measured by ELISA and individuals found positive for anti Toxoplasma gondii IgM or with high titre of IgG were subjected to repeat testing after 3 weeks for rise in titre. True sero-prevalence of T gondii infection was found to be 191 and it increased with increasing age in the population. 2.33% patients were found to have acute toxoplasma infection. Statistical significance was seen only in patients with BOH and children born with congenital abnormality.
