Toxoplasmosis and habitual abortion. Our experience.
The possibility that toxoplasmosis may be an important cause of single or repeated abortion has been considered for some time. The agreement among various authors is, however, far from being reached, above all in the case of habitual abortion. The present research shows that the frequency of positive serological tests on patients with habitual abortion is not substantially different from that of a control group, and that toxoplasmosis, even if only latent, may only in exceptional cases be considered a cause of habitual abortion.
