The present study was carried out on(35) women patients ,all of them having abortion and proved by confirmatoy tests that they have an active form of toxoplasma infection. It also included twenty apparently healthy women as a control group . The patients were between 15 to 50 years of age, they were attending AL-Zahraa Maternity and Child Teaching Hospital, AL-Hakeem Hospital and some private clinics, in Najaf governorate during the period between May 2010 to May 2011. The Cytokines that were measured by ELISA technique were Interleukin-17(IL17),Interleukin-10(IL10) and Gamma Interferon(IFNγ). The study showed a high significant increase in serum level of IL-17 in patients with IgM seropositivity (266.589pg/ml) when compared with serum levels in control and post treated groups (54.875pg/ml,54.182pg/ml) respectively, whereas there was no significant differences in serum levels between those with seropositivity with both IgM and IgG and levels in post treated and control groups. The role T-helper-17 in the immune response against toxoplasmosis was studied in the current infection, it was found that there was a concomitant increase of IL-17 with the increase of T-helper-1 cytokine.

اجريت الدراسه الحاليه لتقييم دور( T-helper-17) من خلال قياس مستوى الانترلوكين السابع عشر (Interleukin-17) في مصل الدم والغايه المتوخاة من ذلك هو لمعرفة الاستجابه المناعيه ضد مرض داء المقوسات لدى النساء اللاتى عانين اسقاطا ، تضمنت تلك الدراسه جمع عينات من دم (35) من اولئك المرضى و (20) من النساء الاصحاء كمجموعه ظابطه ، تراوحت اعمار من شاركت في تلك الدراسه مابين 15-50 سنه من النساء الوافدات الى مستشفى الولاده والاطفال التعليمي في النجف ،مستشفى الحكيم العام وبعض العيادات الخاصه وللفتره مابين مايس 2010 ومايس 2011 وقد تم قياس مستوى السايتوكاينات الاتيه Interleukin-17,Interleukin-10) Gamma Interferon ) في مصول دم اولئك المرضى والمجموعه الضابطه اضافة الى اعاده قياسها لمجموعه المرضى يعد اخذ العلاج اللازم.اظهرت تلك الدراسه زياده وبصوره معنويه في مستوى الانترلوكين السابع عشر( pg/ml 266.589) في دم اولئك المرضى في المراحل المبكره من الاصابه عند مقارنتها للمستوى في المجموعه الضابطه ومجموعه المرضى بعد اخذهم العلاج اللازم (54.182pg/ml, 54.875pg/ml) وعلى التوالي ER -
