[Detection of Toxoplasma infection in women with gynaecologic neoplasms using ELISA]
Objective:
To understand the concurrent in Toxoplasma infection among women with cervical cancer.
Methods:
The anti-Toxoplasma IgG, IgM antibodies (Abs) and circulating antigens (CAg) in 247 sera (from 50 cases with cervical cancer in group 1, 59 cases with gynaecological benign tumors in group 2 and 138 cases with other diseases in group 3) were detected by ELISA.
Results:
The total positive rates of the CAg and the Abs in the three groups were 44.0% (22/50), 25.4% (15/59) and 20.3% (28/138), respectively. The positive rates were 20.0%, 11.9% and 10.9%, respectively for IgG 20.0%, 13.6% and 8.7%, respectively for IgM and 14.0%, 5.1% and 1.4% respectively for CAg.
Conclusion:
The Toxoplasma infection rate of the cervical cancer group was higher than those of the other two groups, particularly the positive rates of CAg and IgM.
