Toxoplasmosis among Patients with Cancers and Blood Disorders in Iran: Serological Evaluation, Risk Factors and Comparison with Healthy Individuals
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes toxoplasmosis in humans and warm-blooded animals. In this study, we explored the risk factors and seroprevalence of Toxoplasma infection among cancer patients and patients with blood cell disorders in Iran. We collected serum sample...
