The seroprevalence of IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was assessed in 56 non-hemophiliac human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adult patients in Japan. Seroprevalence of T. gondii infection was only 5.4%, which is lower than reported for most other countries. Given these results, patients in Japan displaying lesions of the central nervous system and antibodies to T. gondii have a high probability of toxoplasmosis.
在日本,对56名未患血友病的成人人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染患者进行了弓形虫IgG抗体血清阳性率评估。弓形虫感染的血清阳性率仅为5.4%,低于大多数其他国家的报告水平。鉴于这些结果,日本出现中枢神经系统病变且有弓形虫抗体的患者患弓形虫病的可能性很高。
