Aim. Toxoplasmosis, is a parasitic disease can be seen as an acquired or congenital caused by Toxoplasma gondii. In the study, we aimed to determine seroprevalence of the antibodies against T gondii in the patients admitted to Sivas Numune Hospital in a period of one year. Method. Antibody results for Toxoplasma gondii which were assayed with chemiluminescent microparticle immunological test (CMIA) (Abbott-Architect system, Weisbaden, Germany) from the serum samples of the patients with 0-80 years old who applied to Sivas Numune Hospital’s clinics between January 2012-January 2013 were analysed retrospectively. In the study, anti-toxoplasma IgG and IgM antibodies were investigated in sera of 809 patients. Results. The rates of Toxoplasma gondii IgM antibodies were found to be 0.7% (5/772) and that of Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies 35.3% (86/244). In only one patient either IgG or IgM antibodies were obtained positive (0.6%-1/207). Conclusion. As a result, seroprevalence of toksoplasmosis should be monitored and especially for individuals who are seronegative should take precautions.
