Toxoplasma gondii infection by serological and molecular methods in schizophrenia patients with and without suicide attempts: An age‐sex‐matched case‐control study

Introduction The opinion that latent Toxoplasma gondii infection is having a broadly asymptomatic projection has now been interrogated, in specific due to the echoed association between the latent infection and an elevated incidence of schizophrenia or even suicide attempts.

description Introduction The opinion that latent Toxoplasma gondii infection is having a broadly asymptomatic projection has now been interrogated, in specific due to the echoed association between the latent infection and an elevated incidence of schizophrenia or even suicide attempts. Notwithstanding conducted studies aimed to understand this feasible link are restricted. Methods In the present case‐control study, we focused to illuminate the relationship between the serological and molecular presence of T gondii and schizophrenia with or without the suicide attempts by comparing it with healthy individuals. A total of 237 participants (117 in schizophrenia and 120 in healthy control) were included in this study. Results Overall, latent T gondii infections were found statistically higher in 63 (53.8%) of the 117 patients with schizophrenia and in 33 (27.5%) of the 120 controls (P

In schizophrenia patients, seroprevalence T gondii was again found to be statistically higher in suicide attempters (59.6%), compared with no history of suicide attempts (48.3%; P &lt; .05). The molecular positivity rate of T gondii DNA was higher in the schizophrenia group, compared with the healthy control group (P &lt; .05), whereas the history of suicide attempts was not statistically associated (P = .831) with T gondii DNA positivity by polymerase chain reaction. Conclusion This case‐control study enlightens additional demonstration to the belief that T gondii infection would be an underlying component for the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Regardless of the clarity results of this study, this supposition warrants further endorsement.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1368-5031</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1742-1241</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/ijcp.14449</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>London: Hindawi Limited</publisher><subject>Deoxyribonucleic acid ; DNA ; Infections ; Latent infection ; Mental disorders ; Polymerase chain reaction ; Schizophrenia ; Serology ; Suicide ; Suicides &amp; suicide attempts ; Toxoplasma gondii</subject><ispartof>International journal of clinical practice (Esher), 2021-08, Vol.75 (8), p.e14449-n/a</ispartof><rights>2021 John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd</rights><rights>Copyright © 2021 John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c3709-11684dfa94046dabd457d0f398250f765741660cc4a93d95bda7eef1048153193</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c3709-11684dfa94046dabd457d0f398250f765741660cc4a93d95bda7eef1048153193</cites><orcidid>0000-0002-3802-3270</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111%2Fijcp.14449$$EPDF$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111%2Fijcp.14449$$EHTML$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,1417,27924,27925,45574,45575</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Akgül, Özer</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Demirel, Ömer Faruk</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Aksoy Poyraz, Cana</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Tanriöver Aydin, Ezgi</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Uysal, Nuray</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bulu, Ersel</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Sapmaz, Burcu</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Çalişkan, Reyhan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Öner, Yaşar Ali</creatorcontrib><title>Toxoplasma gondii infection by serological and molecular methods in schizophrenia patients with and without suicide attempts: An age‐sex‐matched case‐control study</title><title>International journal of clinical practice (Esher)</title><description>Introduction The opinion that latent Toxoplasma gondii infection is having a broadly asymptomatic projection has now been interrogated, in specific due to the echoed association between the latent infection and an elevated incidence of schizophrenia or even suicide attempts.
