The close relationship between toxoplasmosis and kidney function.

For instance, toxoplasmosis is common after renal transplantation. An incidence rate of 0.14 % was reported in a recent study. GHARAVI et al. in another study have reported secondary infection in 3% of renal transplant patients. Primary infection usually occurs in a majority of the patients with incidence as high 81.8% being reported. Sero-negative patients are 15 times more likely to develop toxoplasmosis following renal transplant.
