The distribution of anti-toxoplasma antibodies among the aborigines in Malaysia and its association with other soil transmitted infections and eosinophilia were studied. A total of 415 serum samples were collected and tested by IFA test. Overall prevalence was 10.6%, lower than previously reported. The antibody titers showed a unimodal distribution peaking at 1:8 dilution. There was a higher proportion of high antibody titer (> 1:128) in the adult compared to the children with no significant difference in prevalence rate by sex. The pattern of infection does not differ from other soil transmitted infections and there was no association between raised Toxoplasma antibodies with eosinophilia.
研究了马来西亚原住民中抗弓形虫抗体的分布情况及其与其他土壤传播感染和嗜酸性粒细胞增多症的关联。共收集了415份血清样本，并通过间接荧光抗体试验（IFA试验）进行检测。总体患病率为10.6%，低于先前报道。抗体滴度呈单峰分布，在1:8稀释度时达到峰值。与儿童相比，成人中高抗体滴度（>1:128）的比例更高，按性别划分的患病率无显著差异。感染模式与其他土壤传播感染无异，弓形虫抗体升高与嗜酸性粒细胞增多症之间无关联。
