Six hundred and forty blood samples were obtained from Rawalpindi-Islamabad to determine the frequency of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test. Two hundred and forty samples were from suspected cases of Toxoplasmosis. Forty (17%) cases were positive for IgG antibody. Seven (3%) of these cases showed antibody titre greater than 1:320. Of 65 children tested, 8 (12.30%) were positive. Four (6%) children had a rising titre from 1:160 to 1:1025. Prevalence of Toxoplasma antibodies was correlated to mode of living, maternal obstetric history, their animal contact and age of the children.
