The IFA test revealed the presence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in 10, 3% (62) of sera from 600 pregnant women. The incidence of antibodies varied from 8,0% in the Black population to 10,5% in White and 12,5% in Coloured women. In the Coloured and Black populations the highest incidence of antibodies was found in the 31-40-year age group, while in Whites this occurred in the 21-30-year age group. Twenty-eight sera also contained complement-fixing antibodies. The results are discussed in relation to the epidemiology, complications, diagnosis and treatment of toxoplasmosis. |
