Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can produce a wide range of clinical
symptoms in humans, is the source of the zoonotic infection known as
Toxoplasmosis. The goal of this study was to measure the serum levels of anticardiolipin
(ACL) antibodies (ACL-IgM and ACL-IgG) in 200 women with T.gondii and recurrent abortions.
Two hundred (200) blood samples from aborted women were used in this study, which was carried out in Kirkuk between November 1, 2022, and March 21, 2023, at the Gynaecological & Paediatric Hospital and Kirkuk General Hospital to determine the level of Anticardiolipin IgG and IgM serum. In this study of 200 aborted women, 28 (14%) had IgM positivity, 66
(33%) had IgG positivity, and 94 (47%) had Toxoplasmosis positivity overall. Of 200 aborted women, 39 (19.5%) had anticardiolipin IgM while 35 (17.5%) had Anticardiolipin IgG.
The anticardiolipin IgM higher than anticardiolioin IgG in the Toxoplasmosis infected women.
