Chloramphenicol is classified as a broad spectrum veterinary drugs used to treat pulmonary infections in the poultry industry. Even relatively low levels of chloramphenicol residues may give rice to an irreversible type of bone marrow depression leading eventually to anaplastic anemia. This study was conducted with the aim of chicken meat. Chloramphenicol concentraction was measured by enzyme (ELISA) in 140 chicken meat samples (thigh muscles) presented to the consumption market of isfahan city. In 25 of the 140 evaluated samples (17.9%), presence of chloramephnicol residues was detected in concentrations rouging form 14 to 311 ng/kg with a mean ±standard deviation of 97.9 ±17.7 ng/kg. the results of chloramphenicol residues were low in the samples but this drug is still being used in the poultry industry and this can be a risk to public health.
