Toxoplasma Gondii a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease infection, in Al-Diwaniyah Governorate, Iraq
Keywords:
Toxoplasma Gondii, risk factor, disease infectionAbstract
The results of the serological examination of 35 patients with Alzheimer's disease showed that 21 of them were infected with Toxoplasma Gondii by 60% for the period from the beginning of February until the end of May 2022, the high odds ratio value (OR = 7.87) showed the role of Toxoplasma infection in causing Alzheimer's disease, and there was no effect of age and gender on infection with Toxoplasma parasite in Alzheimer's patients.
