Abstract:To investigate the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection among hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients in northern Shaanxi Province, 139 patients and 43 healthy controls were recruited. All the plasma was screened for IgG antibody of Toxoplasma gondii. Then, the association between Toxoplasma gondii infection and HBV were analyzed. Results showed that the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection was relative low with just 5.04% in HBV patients but zero in healthy control. Most of those infected with toxoplasma gondii were male, HBeAg positive or with higher HBV viral load. However, no significant relationship was found between Toxoplasma gondii infection and gender, HBeAg status or viral load in univariate analyses. This study indicated the relative low infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii, which had no association with HBV infection in northern Shaanxi Province.
