Abstract:
A prospective follow-up study was carried out among different categories of pregnant
women in Sri Lanka,to establish seroprevalence rates in this group,to examine the possible
role of toxoplasma gondii infection among women with bad obstetric histories,and to
examine the relationship between seroprevalence and various known risk factors for
infection.The result of this study indicate that although toxoplasmosis is of relatively low
endemicity in sri lanak, it still poses a significant problems to pregnant women,and may
contribute towards the occurrence of sporadic single abortions.It does not appear to be
associated with a bad obstetric history,but confirmation of this will require further studies.
