[Toxoplasmosis in the Central African Republic: first survey]. / La toxoplasmose en République Centrafricaine (R. C. A.): premiers sondages.

ABSTRACT

For this purpose, toxoplasma antibodies were determined by latex agglutination test. Two kinds of human sera were examined people in "good health" from North of Centrafrican Republic and patients from Bangui. In North, 40% of sera gave positive results and young girls from 1 to 14 years old seem to become positive earlier than young boys. At Bangui, 81% of sera from pregnant women coming from Medical Service was positive; all from 8 patients with ocular affections was positive and only 5 on 10 with adenopathy.
