Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the effect of toxoplasmosis on several biochemical parameters in aborted women (aborted due to toxoplasma) 43 women were classified into four groups. The first group contains 10 women with full term of pregnancy and normal delivers kept as control group. The second group composed of 16 women aborted one time the third group contain 10 women aborted for two time. Fourth group contain 7 women aborted for three time. Blood sample were collected from all women. The obtained result reveled that a significant increase of serum toxoplasma IgG, IgM and cortisol, on aborted groups (G2, G3 and G4) compared with control group (G1). While, there was none significance difference in cancer antigen 125 (CA125) in serum compared with control group. Also, Results showed a significant increase of immunoglobulin IgG, IgE, IgA, IL2 and IL6 and on aborted groups (G2, G3 and G4) compared with control group (G1). While, there was no significant difference of IgM between in group G4 compared with control group (G1).
