Background: The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is responsible for the most significant zoonotic illness in the world, Toxoplasmosis. It is possible for T. gondii to be transferred transplacentally from the mother to the fetus if it is contracted during pregnancy and causes abortion or congenital deformity. Objective: To investigate the correlation between polycystic ovarian syndrome and toxoplasmosis, as well as to examine certain related sex hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Materials and Methods: The current study was conducted at Kirkuk General Hospital and Gynaecological and Pediatric Hospital in Kirkuk city, Iraq, between November 1, 2022 and March 21, 2023. The study included 200 blood samples collected from women who had abortions. The serum used to measure levels of LH and FSH. Results: Out of the 200 aborted women, only 40 (20%) of them were PCO positive (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). The 40 positive PCO subjects were divided into four groups according to the presence of T. gondii antibodies: PCO +ve and Toxo IgM +ve (7.5%), PCO +ve and Toxo IgG +ve (15%), PCO +ve and Toxo IgM ‐ve (42.5%), PCO +ve and Toxo IgG ‐ve (35%). Conclusion: There were significant differences in the FSH and LH level in the study groups. The level of LH in four groups the highest mean was in Toxo IgM and PCO +ve (9.190 ± 3.710) with P value 0.046. In the level of FSH in four groups the highest mean was in Toxo IgG +ve and PCO +ve (8.776 ± 2.061) and the lowest mean was in Toxo IgM +ve and PCO +ve (5.790 ± 3.25) with a P value of 0.045

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory parasite that causes a zoonotic infection known as toxoplasmosis, which produces a wide range of clinical symptoms in humans and is considered the major cause of abortion in women. Immunocompromised patients are more likely to develop T. gondii infections due to parasite transmission over the placenta.

Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can produce a wide range of clinical symptoms in humans, is the source of the zoonotic infection known as Toxoplasmosis. The goal of this study was to measure the serum levels of anticardiolipin (ACL) antibodies (ACL-IgM and ACL-IgG) in 200 women with T.gondii and recurrent abortions. Two hundred (200) blood samples from aborted women were used in this study, which was carried out in Kirkuk between November 1, 2022, and March 21, 2023, at the Gynaecological & Paediatric Hospital and Kirkuk General Hospital to determine the level of Anticardiolipin IgG and IgM serum. In this study of 200 aborted women, 28 (14%) had IgM positivity, 66 (33%) had IgG positivity, and 94 (47%) had Toxoplasmosis positivity overall. Of 200 aborted women, 39 (19.5%) had anticardiolipin IgM while 35 (17.5%) had Anticardiolipin IgG. The anticardiolipin IgM higher than anticardiolioin IgG in the Toxoplasmosis infected women.
