Abstract:
The current study was conducted in Thi - Qar province to investigate of Toxoplasma gondii prevalence among renal dialysis and cancer patients by using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay test and also the study determined of some factors that may affected that may affected the prevalence of infection, such as age, sex, marital status, place of residence and the contact with cats and a number of chemical dosing that exposed to it cancer patient or the number of times the dialysis for renal dialysis patients.One hundred blood samples were collected from renal dialysis patient and one hundred samples others were collected from cancer patient from two hospital AL - Hussein Hospital and AL - Habboubi Hospital for the period from the beginning October 2015 to the end of the month of March 2016 and prepared a questionnaire form for each person to get their information, as well as the collection of 50 blood samples from (healthy) as control group . .The results of the current study showed that the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in Thi - - Qar province in both renal dialysis and cancer patients and control group were 28% and 36% and 24% respectively. recorded results of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay ELISA test results for a positive antibody IgG in both renal dialysis and cancer patients and control group 25% , 30% , 22% respectively. As for the IgM antibody study did not record any positive result in both categories of the study (dialysis and cancer) only control group was 2%. The result of IgG & IgM together in renal dialysis and cancer and control group 3%, 6%, 0% respectively. .The highest infection prevalence were detected in renal dialysis in the age group (40 - 49 years) amounted (26.67%) and less infection in the age group (60> years) with percentage of 23.08% . As for cancer patients, the highest infection prevalence in the age group (50 - 59 years) was 53.85% and were less infection in the age group (30 - 39 years) amountin 14.29%. .The current study recorded there is a significant differences at level of P <0.05 in infection prevalence accoriding to gender for renal dialysis patients as it was infection prevalence in males 35.18%, while in the females the infection prevalence was 19.56%. As for cancer patients the study recorded significant differences P <0.05 where the infection prevalence in females were highest compared to males where it was 38.59% and 32.55% respectivelyThe study did not show any significant differences P> 0.05 for the infection prevalence according to contact with cats in renal dialysis patients but the study found significant differences between married and unmarried where the infection prevalence among married 25.84%, while the unmarried 45.45% .The infection prevalence were in the City highest 29.27% compared to countryside which amounted to 22.22%, the study found that the increase in the number of times the dialysis increased incidence of infection prevalence it was 25.53% for patients who conducted the dialysis treatment more than six times and 16.66% for patients who have less than six times. In cancer patients, the study observed significant differences P <0.05 for the contact with cats and it was highest infection prevalence in the city amounted to 45.21% compared to countryside 11.11%. and recorded a high infection rates at married 37.90% either at unmarried did not show they have no infection by parasite. For factor chemical dosing show high infection rates in patients who have been exposed to more than one dose of a chemical 37.63% As for those who were not exposed to any chemical dose was ratios have 14.29% .and wasblood type B + higher infection in renal dialysis patients 40.74% either in the cancer patients were O+ highest amounted to 58.62 %The results of the blood Parameters which conducted for infected males by toxoplasmosis and non - infected had not noticed a change in the hemoglobin for both categories. As total count and differential white blood cells the study did not record significant differences in the renal dialysis patients except neutrophil blood cell was observed height in infected males than non - infected . as for Cancer group was a decrease in the total number and differential white blood cells except acidophilus did not record any change in its level. As the females the study results were that there was no significant difference for both renal dialysis and cancer patient except Lymphocyte found decline in infected than non - infected for cancer patients .showed the results of the current study for standards biochemical that there are no significant differences P <0.05 for renal dialysis and cancer patient in the case of urea, creatinine, the study do not found any effect of toxoplasmosis on the rates of both urea and creatinine. As albumin was observed to high at dialysis patients and low at cancer patients at infected with toxoplasmosis compared to non - infected either control group the study did not reported significant differences for urea and creatinine and albumin. either liver function the study did not find change in the level of liver enzymes (AST.ALT) in dialysis and cancer patients and control group (healthy) .The presnt study recorded there is no significant differences in lipid profile (HDL, LDL, VLDL, Cholestrol, Triglyceride) at infected and non - infected in renal dialysis goup either cancer patients was observed high (HDL, VLDL, Cholestrol, Triglyceride
