Abstract (2. Language): 
Toxplasmosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Transmission of the disease is mainly by ingestion of food or water contaminated with oocysts. Congenital toxoplasmosis occurs from the transplacental passage of the parasite from mother to fetus. Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis can be established by the direct detection of the parasite or by serological methods. Among 150 women with BOH 14 (9.33%) were positive for IgM antibodies to T. gondii. Highest percentage of sero-positivity was observed in the cases of abortions (11.11%) followed by cases with history of IUD (7.27 %). All antenatal cases with BOH are routinely screened for toxoplasmosis so that early diagnosis and appropriate intervention of these infections will help in proper management and fetal outcome.
