title: [Serodiagnosis of 2,438 cases of toxoplasmosis by immunofluorescence at the Pasteur Institute of Algeria. Epidemiological and clinical corollaries].
abstract: 2 438 sera from patients suspected of having toxoplasmosis, were tested by indirect immunofluorescence at the Pasteur Institute of Algeria between 1969 and 1973. 53,2% of the sera tested were shown to be positive. Although geographically limited, this investigation reveals the frequency of toxoplasmic infection in the Algiers region with a predominance of the polyadenopathic benign form. Moreover, the causative role of toxoplasmosis in repeated abortions is confirmed.
