Significance of Toxoplasma Antibody Titers by Indirect Latex Agglutination Tests in Pregnant Women and Pelvic Tumor Patients

임산부 및 골반장기 종양환자에서의 Toxoplasma Latex 응집항체치의 의의

A total of 377 pregnant women, 43 pelvic tumor patients and 80 of multiphysic health center persons as controls were examined by indirect latex agglutination test in order to evaluate Toxoplasma antibody titers at Kang-Nam St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul. Throughout this survey, 1 : 32 or more titers of diluted sera were regarded as positive. 1. The 377 samples of test sera in pregnant women showed negatives in 319 cases (84.6%), 1 : 2 in 44 cases (11.7%), 1:4 in 9 cases (2.4%), 1:8 in 2 cases (0.5%), 1:16 in 1 case (0.3%) and 1 : 32 in 2 cases (0.5%) respectively. 2. The 43 samples of test sera in pelvic tumor patients showed negatives in 29 cases (67.4%), 1:2 in 8 cases(18.6%), 1:4 in 1 case(2.3%), 1:16 in 2 cases (4.7%), 1:32 in 1 case(2.3%) and 1 : 128 in 2 cases (4.7%). 3. The 80 samples of test sera in multiphysic health center persons as controls negatives in 56 cases (70.0%), 1.2 in 19 cases (23.8%), 1:4 in 3 cases (3.8%), 1:8 in 1 case (1.3%) and 1 : 128 in 1 case (1.3%). 4. Among total 420 study cases, 5 cases (1.2%) showed Positives, and they were 2 cases (0.5%) of pregnant women and 3 cases (7.0%) of pelvic tumor patients. 5. One case (1.3%) out of 80 control sera showed positive result.
