Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread zoonotic parasite and a known factor contributing to recurrent abortion. This cross-sectional study, conducted in Tikrit City, Iraq from November 2023 to June 2024, aimed to evaluate the relationship between T. gondii infection and serum interleukins IL-7, IL-17, and IL-27 in women with recurrent abortion. Sixty women aged 20-45 years were enrolled, including 30 seropositive cases and 30 healthy controls. The overall seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was 28.3%, with chronic IgG positivity being the most common. Serum IL-7, IL-17, and IL-27 levels were significantly elevated in infected women compared with control (p<0.005). These findings suggest that increased cytokine levels may contribute to immune dysregulation associated with recurrent abortion. Routine screening and immunological monitoring may help reduce pregnancy loss among high-risk women.
