HAEMATOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY AND

Routine haematology, biochemistry and urinalysis show no changes specific for toxoplasmosis. However, during ''T. gondii'' infection, several features may be seen and could be suggestive. For haematology, these might include: non-regenerative anaemia, neutrophilic leucocytosis, lymphocytosis, monocytosis, neutropenia or eosinophilia. Biochemical profiles could show increased creatine kinase, ALT, SAP, bilirubin and total protein, and proteinuria and bilirubinuria may be revealed by urinalysis.

There are no laboratory findings pathognomonic for toxoplasmosis

(Lappin 1996). However, if the clinical history

is consistent with toxoplasmosis, the following laboratory

abnormalities raise the index of suspicion: non-regenerative

anaemia, neutrophilic leucocytosis, lymphocytosis,

monocytosis, neutropenia, eosinophilia, increased activities

of creatine kinase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline

phosphatase and lipase, hyperbilirubinaemia, hyperproteinaemia,

proteinuria and bilirubinuria.
