dc.description.abstract(1) Seventy sera from a variety of patients suffering from different diseases suspected to be caused by Toxoplasma gondii infection and forty from non-toxoplasmic hospital cases and laboratory and hospital staff were collected. (2) Antitoxoplasma antibody was detected in those sera by Indirect Haemagglutination test (IHA test) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). (3) Twenty one (30%) sera out of 70 test samples and 2 (5%) out of 40 control samples were positive by ELISA test. With IHA test only 17 (24.3%) of test samples and same 2 (5%) of control samples were positive. (4) Sera collected from Paediatric Department showed the highest positivity (40%) followed by Opthalmological group (35.7%) and obstetrics and Gynaecological group (13.6%). (5) No significant co-relation was found between the seropositivity with sex, diet and history of cat contact of the patients.en_US
