The current study was conducted during September to November 2016, the blood samples were collected from outpatient Clinics to investigate the presence of antibodies of Toxoplasma gondii and Rubella virus in women who had an abortion in Babylon governorate by using (Onsite toxo IgG/IgM comboRapid test and Onsite Rubella IgG/IgM comboRapid test). The total number of patients 30 whose their age between 15-35 years. Results showed that 10 samples (33.33%) were positive for Rubella and 3samples (3.33%) positive for T.gondii. The study also showed a significant relationship between the percentage of antibodies of Rubella, T.gondii, age, and level of health culture , while there was no significant relationship between the risk factors and the presence of positive sera. The study also revealed that the most miscarriages associated with infection within the first stage of gestation.Downloads
