Three hundred and fifty-seven serum samples from pregnant African women were examined for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies with indirect haemagglutination test in Dar es Salaam. Out of these 222 women were normal, sixty-nine had anaemia and sixty-six were suffering from hypertension. Infection rate in normal pregnant women was 41.9%, in anaemic women 52.5%, and in those suffering from hypertension 66.7%. Highly significant relationship was observed between Toxoplasma infection and anaemia, and hypertension. Infection rate was significantly high in women who had histories of abortion. The results suggested associations of Toxoplasma gondii infection with hypertension and anaemia in African women.
在达累斯萨拉姆，采用间接血凝试验对357名非洲孕妇的血清样本进行了弓形虫抗体检测。其中222名妇女为正常孕妇，69名患有贫血，66名患有高血压。正常孕妇的感染率为41.9%，贫血孕妇为52.5%，高血压孕妇为66.7%。观察到弓形虫感染与贫血和高血压之间存在高度显著的关系。有流产史的妇女感染率显著较高。结果表明非洲妇女中弓形虫感染与高血压和贫血有关。
