Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune`multisystem pathologic condition, characterized by recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis, pregnancy loss and thrombocytopenia. Also, APS were reported in many infectious disease including viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections (e.g.toxoplasmosis). There are however interesting association between the parasite response and specific auto-antibodies (aPL- serine Abs&aCL-Abs).Objective: To represent the role of autoantibodies in association with toxoplasmosis in the occurrence of the recent abortion.Patients and Methods: The present study included 76 women: 42women had recent abortion and 34 healthy women with no history of abortion, which constitute the control group, their ages ranged between (15-40) years. ELISA method was used for detection IgM-Abs of T.gondii, aPL-serine Abs and aCL- screen Abs. in the blood samples collected.Results: It was found that there was a statistical, high significant correlation between antiphosphatidyl-serine Abs and anti-toxoplasma IgM Abs, P-value<0.05. While no statistical significant correlation was found between anti-cardiolipin screen Abs and anti-toxoplasma Abs IgM Abs,P-value >0.05.Conclusion: Anitphosphatidyl serine –Abs in association with acute phase of toxoplasmosis had important role in recent abortion, more than the role of anticardiolipin Abs.

Background: Recently it has been noticed that toxoplasmosis played an important role in distressing women’s pregnancy through certain outcomes such as congenital abnormalities and abortions. The lack in Vitamin D may play role fragility of bones like; osteoporosis, and bone deformities. Objective: To evaluate the association between the lake in vitamin D and toxoplasmosis seropositivity in the women’s sera in the age of childbearing by applying ELISA method. Materials and Methods: 56 women, from Central Public Health Laboratories in Baghdad Province were selected in this study, their age range between (17-45) years. The individuals were diagnosed with BOH (Bad Obstetric History). Among 56 women infected (44)or not infected (12)with toxoplasmosis blood samples were collected from patients who visited Central Public Health Laboratories in Baghdad Province . IgG and IgM Abs Antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii were detected using minividas kit ) BioMerieux /France). Also vitamin D was detected using by ELISA microwells method (Monobind Inc. USA). Results: The results were considered as statistically significant (P=0.386), it shows no important difference between toxoplasmosis and the concentration of vitamin D3 in women with history of abortion or not. Conclusion: The toxoplasmosis rate in women in childbearing age was elevated, and the association between vitamin D deficiency and toxoplasmosis was not considerable.
