Infections are more common and run a more protracted course in patients with Diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to determine the prevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies in patients with type 1 DM. Material and Methods: The study group comprised 85 patients with type 1 DM and 85 healthy volunteers. Micro enzyme-linked ininiunosorbent assay and indirect fluorescent antibody technique were used. Results: T. gondii IgG sero-positivity rate in DM patients (56.62%) was significantly higher than in controls (22.4%). Conclusion: Parasitologic surveys should be repeated periodically in this group of patients.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessToxoplasma gondiidiabetes mellitusArticle2856196222-s2.0-54449095027Q4WOS:000259856300005N/A
