Effect of Toxoplasmosis on some biochemical parameters in aborted Women in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Governorate

Abstract

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of infection of women with toxoplasmosis on some serum biochemical parameters. 180 samples of blood were collected from aborted women . The percentage of toxoplasma infection depending Enzyme- Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to the antibodies IgG and IgM were 42.77%. The results of biochemical analysis showed that infection with toxoplasma caused significant elevation of Nitric Oxide, Malondialdehyde, copper, alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase enzymes. Aswell as the concentrations of Gluthanione, calcium and zinc were reduced . Where as the activity of alkaline phosphatase did not show any significant difference between aborted women and control group.
