AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii among patients with hematological diseases by testing for IgM antibodies.
- Results showed a significantly higher positive rate of 7.50% in patients with hematological diseases compared to 0.67% in healthy individuals and 1.20% in patients with other medical conditions.
- Specifically, patients with bone marrow neoplastic diseases had a positive rate of 10.32%, indicating a greater susceptibility to Toxoplasma gondii in this group.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii in patients with hematological diseases.
Methods: The Toxoplasma gondii IgM antibody in 200 patients with hematological diseases were tested, at the same time, IgM antibody in the persons received physical examination and other patients with common clinical diseases also were test, and their detection results were compared.
Results: The positive rate of Toxoplasma gondii IgM antibody in patients with hematological diseases was 7.50%, the positive rate in persons received physical examination was 0.67%, and the positive rate in patients with other common clinical diseases was 1.20%. The positive rate of IgM antibody in patients with hematological diseases was statistically significantly higher than that in the latter two kinds of persons(P<0.05). Among the patients with hematological diseases, the positive rate of Toxoplasma gondii IgM antibody in patients with bone marrow neoplastic diseases was 10.32%, which was statistically significantly higher than that in patients with bone marrow non-neoplastic diseases (2.70%).
Conclusion: Patients with hematological diseases are susceptible to Toxoplasma gondii, and to whom enough attention should be paid.
