    Abstract

    A total of 205 dialysis patients with renal insufficiency were selected as an experiment group, and 360 healthy people were selected as a control group. The specific IgG antibodies of Toxoplasma gondii of the objects in the 2 groups were detected by ELISA. The positive rates of the experiment and control groups were 27. 3% and 3. 6% ,respectively, with a significant difference between them (P < 0.05). Among the dialysis patients with renal insufficiency, the positive rates of the patients with or without a history of blood transfusion were 31.2% and 19.2% , respectively, and there was a significant difference between them (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the infection rate of T. gondii in dialysis patients with renal insufficiency is higher than that of common people, and dialysis and/or blood transfusion may be potential risk(s) for Toxoplasma gondii infection.
