title: [Effects of Toxoplasma infection on menstrual function of rural and urban girls in Uzbekistan].
abstract: A total of 1393 schoolgirls, living in the town of Tashkent and in villages, were screened for toxoplasmosis by enzyme immunoassay. The infection rate was found approximately the same in town and village. Menstrual function disorders were more frequent in the rural girls that in the urban ones. Analysis of the relationship between Toxoplasma infection and menstrual function of girls has shown that this relationship often presents as irregular cycle, primary amenorrhea, and delayed menarche.
