toxoplasmosis is a protozoal infection caused by toxoplasma gondii. toxoplasmosis produce severe damage in patients who are immunosuppresed. in those who are immunosupressed, latent infection can be reactivated resulting in acute disseminating disease. betamethasone is a synthetic glycocorticoid, used as an anti-inflamatory and immunosuppressant in a wide variety of disorders.the aim of this st...

The aim of this study to evaluate the expression Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), TGF- ß, and IL-10 in placental tissue aborted women correlation with Toxoplasma.gondii (T. gondii) these cytokines each other toxoplasmosis, during an abortion. samples have been processed used for immunohistochemistry PDL-1, IL-10, TGF-β. There was increase TGF-β, infected T.gondii, results showed that residence p...

The ability to discriminate between primary Toxoplasma gondii infection acquired in early pregnancy and infection that occurred prior to pregnancy was assessed by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to determine the avidity of toxoplasma-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG). The results were compared to those of the Platelia Toxo-IgM EIA and the dye test. The mean IgG avidity of 73 serum samples collected w...

Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous protozoan parasite that is estimated to infect one-third of the world’s human population causing a wide range spectrum of diseases. Reports on the prevalence of T. gondii infection among infertile females are scarce. This case-control study aimed to screen the infertile females and pregnant controls for Toxoplasma infection investigating a possible association ...

INTRODUCTION Approximately a third of the population worldwide is chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Pyrimethamine-based regimens are recommended for the treatment of toxoplasmosis. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the safety profile of pyrimethamine-based treatment for the three main Toxoplasma manifestations: toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE), ocular toxoplasmosis, and congenital tox...

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection with public health importance. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence toxoplasmosis and its risk factors among pregnant women consulted at Bamenda Regional Hospital.
