[Evaluation of the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis in Togo].
The authors compare the seropositivity against Toxoplasma gondii in 618 women from 13 to 55 years old coming from 6 different regions of Togo. The sera were examined for the presence of IgG by ELISA technic. The results show a significant difference with regions (extremes: 62 and 88% seropositive subjects) but religion, ethnic origin and diet do not seem to have any influence.
