Abstract

The results of a prospective cross-sectional study on the anti-toxoplasma IgG and IgM specific antibody profile among blood donors in Al Ain United Arab Emirates are presented. The overall infection rate was 34%. Based on IgM specific antibody positive rate, acute toxoplasmosis was evident among 3% of the blood donors studied. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
