Abstract

Abstract: The most prevalent parasite infection in worldwide is toxoplasmosis that associated
with a number of problems such as thyroid diseases. The aim of the following study was to
investigate relationship between basophil and eosinophil in patients with autoimmune thyroid
diseases (AITD) who had T.gondii and estimation its association body mass index. The
following study was included 100 patients with (AITD) and 70 as healthy control whom entered
Thi-Qar specialized diabetes endocrine & metabolism center in Nasiriyah city, southern Iraq.
The samples were collected during period extended from July to November (2023) and tested by
using serological method (ELISA) to determine the presence of anti T.gondii (IgG) antibodies
and complete blood count(CBC) and determine BMI of patients. The results showed 33% of
(AITD) patients infected with T. gondii and did not show significant differences in basophil and
eosinophil results and elevated of BMI in hashimotos patients while decreased in Gravis patients.
